I had a little help with my Abby/Betty recipe today: Shane and his brother Ryan. Ryan is in town visiting for the weekend and he's also learning how to cook now. We made Chipotle Black Bean Burritos and actually ate them at our dining room table!
Ryan mashed the beans, Shane cooked the tortillas, and I chopped the onion, tomato, and chipotle peppers. I used garlic powder instead of chopping up garlic. I just put less garlic powder than the recipe called for (1/2 tsp instead of 3/4 tsp) because it's GROSS if you put too much. We cooked up the onions and garlic powder in vegetable oil, then added the tomatoes, beans, and two tsp of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The chipotle peppers were supposed to be "finely chopped," which I kind of ignored and just cut them into smallish pieces. That was our only complaint about the meal: about three bites were delicious, then the next bite had a pepper and was really hot! I would definitely make this again, with the following changes: bigger burrito-sized tortillas instead of the little ones we had, and chopping up the chipotle peppers into tiny pieces. I also might make a double recipe, because the burrito insides could be saved to make more burritos the next day. Otherwise this was yummy, topped off with some mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and H-E-B peach salsa.
Now Shane and Ryan are playing some Red Steel on the Wii (some kind of game where you shoot people and things), and when I'm done blogging we're going to play some Rock Band. Also, we opened the window and turned on the fan because we were cooking the onions, which caused Frankie and Animal to gather by the screen door and be really sweet. :D
Oh and P.S., the cupcakes were delicious, and were a big hit at work!
