Black Bean Chili with Wheat Berries Burritos - November

From 366 Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, & Grains
"Wheat berries add texture and heartiness to this spicy*** party chili. Serve it with grated cheese, chopped sweet onion, chopped tomatoes, and heated flour tortillas or corn chips. Extras can be frozen and served as burrito filling at a later date."

1/4 c cooked wheat berries
2 c black beans
1 onion, diced
dashes chipotle chili sauce (to taste)
garlic cloves, minced (to taste)

1 28oz can tomato sauce + some water (couple of cups)
2 T chili powder
1 T ground cumin
salt and black pepper (to taste)
1/2 c chopped fresh cilantro

Drain beans & wheat berries, then combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid to a thick sauce, then reduce the heat and continue simmering, covered, for a total of 30 minutes. Add the cilantro and simmer for 5 minutes more.

* After cooling, I put the filling into flour tortillas with some grated sharp cheddar cheese, then wrapped in foil, then bagged. *

To cook burritos:
Thaw or reheat straight from the freezer.


Microwave:
Remove foil, defrost, and reheat. (I can nuke 'em for 1-2 minutes.)


Oven:
Bake in foil at 375 for 30 minutes if frozen, 300 for 30 minutes if thawed.


Serve burritos with sour cream and a salad.

*** I did not put in all of the spices it called for. See my Re: Spicyness Post.
