Recipe: Vegetarian Burritos Grande

VEGETARIAN BURRITOS GRANDE

FOR THE BASTING OIL:
1/3 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp dried oregano

FOR THE BURRITOS:
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 Anaheim pepper
3 medium yellow squash
1 large red onion, sliced
6 flour tortillas
3 cups black beans, cooked, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

TO PREPARE THE BASTING OIL:
Combine all ingredients for basting oil in a small bowl. Cover and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.

TO COOK THE VEGETABLES:
Cut peppers, along with the squash in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds from the peppers. Using a pastry brush, coat them with the basting oil.

Grill peppers and onion slices under a broiler or on a prepared grill. Baste and turn until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and when cool enough to handle, chop the grilled vegetables.

TO ASSEMBLE:
Spoon black beans slightly off center on tortillas and top with grilled vegetables and cilantro. Fold and eat.
