Spicy Bean Burrito

I've never had a bean burrito before.  It never seemed very appetizing to me although a lot of people have told me they are really good.  I came across this recipe at Annie's Eats.  They looked so yummy and so simple to make I thought I would give it a try.  Mine didn't look as good as Annie's but they were tasty.  I had black beans and kidney beans but you can use whatever beans you have in your pantry.  I had to make some changes because in Canada our beans come in 19 oz and Annie mentioned that these burritos were mildly spiced so I increased the spices.  I also replaced the chipotle with jalapeno.  I made some Pico de Gallo and Guacamole (recipe to come) to eat with it.

Red Kidney Bean Curry (Rajmah)

Today for dinner we are having leftovers but I need a something little more and I'm sick so I wanted to make something quick that wasn't daal.  I decided to make a super fast red kidney bean curry that I adapted from Smitten Kitchen.  This is my favorite food blog.  The pictures are amazing and everything I've tried has turned out good even with making changes here and there.  For this curry I had to make some changes. The recipe calls for 2 tins of 15 oz kidney beans.  In Canada we get 19 oz tins and it called for an 8 oz tin of tomato sauce.  The closest I could find was 213 ml.  We like our food spicy (and this is spicy) so basically I used the recipe as is for a 19 oz tin of kidney beans with a few changes.  It tastes great with rice or egg noodles.
