BLACK*****Bean & Vegetable Burritos - Slow Cooker - 6 Points

By

These were excellent for both. Easy to make too, just throw everything into the slow cooker.

Makes enough for 15 tortillas, freeze 2/3rds.

Update - 14/08/12 - I didn't want to bother with the tortillas so I served this over some brown basmati with a bit of grated cheddar overtop and some yogurt mixed with lime juice and sale. Dan ranted and raved about it but I had a texture problem with it - stick with the Burritos
