Favourite go-to meal

DaniGirl has a great post and giveaway where she asks people to share a favourite meal idea to help each other alleviate the meal-planning burden.

My current favourite, quick, easy and healthy meal is bean burritos (thanks Bonnie!).

It's soooooooo easy and soooooooo quick and pretty darn healthy.

Here's how i make mine:

1 can refried beans
whole wheat tortillas
shredded low fat cheddar cheese
fat free sour cream
salsa
diced tomatoes
chopped green onion
guacamole
lettuce
whatever

Open can of refried beans, and transfer to microwaveable bowl. Heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Layer each of the above ingredients on a tortilla. Roll and eat. You're eating in 6 minutes.

Some people like to spice things up a bit by mixing dry taco seasoning in with the beans. Personally i like the taste of plain refried beans. This has become such a staple in our house, that i always make sure that we have at least one can of refried beans in the pantry.

What's your go-to quick and easy meal?
