Meatless Friday: Zesty Black Bean Burritos

For Meatless Friday, Tiffany Walsh shares a simple burrito recipe you can make without turning on the oven. Download our printable recipe card!

This simple, but delicious, recipe is a staple for our family on Fridays. It’s healthy and quick to put together after work and school, and the customization options are endless! The flavorful poblano pepper is what makes this meal special to us, but of course, you can mix this up with any type of pepper you love. This meal is also ideal to make when the weather is warm, as it does not use the oven and therefore does not heat up the kitchen. This does not apply to everyone, of course, but in our area of the Northeast, we do not have central air conditioning, and such stovetop-only meals are truly important!
