Black Bean & Rice Burritos

1 onion, diced (.25)
1 tbs. oil
Black Beans - 2 cans, drained. I cook dried beans in the crock pot and package them in approximately 2 "cans worth". (.50)
Diced Tomatoes - 1 can (.50)
3 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin - cheap trick - buy in the bagged Mexican spices and pour into your empty container.
2 - 3 cups of cooked rice (.50)
Flour tortillas (1.50)
Cheese, cheddar 4 oz - I buy in bulk and repackage from Sam's (.65)
Sour cream (.50)

In a large skillet, sauté onion in oil until softened. Add the beans, tomatoes, garlic powder and cumin; heat through. Stir in the rice. Spoon about 1/3 cupful off-center on each tortilla. Top with cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Serve with sour cream.

$4.40 not counting spices. Cheap, healthy, easy and satisfying enough that my carnivore DH doesn't miss the meat!
