Oh, Right, Dinner Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

What I really wanted for dinner was a burrito with ground beef. I miss my Tex-Mex.

But we didn’t have ground beef, and I couldn’t figure out what to make for dinner, so I looked in the pantry. What did I find?

  • A can of corn
  • A can of black beans
  • A whole bunch of spices

I drained the corn, drained and rinsed the beans, threw in some dried chipotle and ancho and cumin, and microwaved it all for three minutes, stirring a few times.

Then I microwaved a tortilla (we always have tortillas), put in a little grated cheddar cheese and the bean and corn mixture and a little more cheddar cheese, and wrapped it all up.

While it would have been nice to have lettuce and tomatoes, it was still delicious. And really, really easy.

And when I put the leftovers into the fridge, I realized that I could just have heated up the last of the mu shu. So tonight I’ve got options.
