Burritos with Rice and Homemade Salsa

Salsa:
1 can pinto beans (washed)
3 fresh tomatoes
Pinch of salt. Liberal dashes of red pepper flakes, cilantro, and garlic powder.


Put beans and tomatoes into saucepot, cook until concoction is bubbling, add spices.

Burrito:
1 tortilla (naturally), shredded cheese, rice.

Put rice, cheese, and salsa into burrito, fold like so.

Not the most authentically Hispanic thing ever, but it can be made in fifteen minutes after work.

Discount Blue-eyed Curry

Made this up a few weeks ago to use up some otherwise bland food and work around the fact that my boyfriend hates yogurt.

Part the First: The Sauce

Make a white sauce:
4 tsps of butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk

Boil until sauce is thick, but still liquid.

Add:
Liberal doses of: curry powder, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, cilantro, pepper.

Part the Second: The Veggies

1 can chickpeas or red beans
1 bag frozen veggies (I hate chopping vegetables after I've been at work all day)


Combine the sauce with the veggies. Eat.
