Burritos with Black Beans and Squash

I'm on my own for a few days since Darlene's in Buffalo visiting her sister. Burritos aren't one of her favorite meals but I love 'em so I had to make some while she's gone. We still had one little pattypan squash from the market this past weekend so I diced that and sauteed it with some onion and garlic and salt & pepper. I also added some chili powder, cumin and oregano and finally a can of black beans and a small handful of cherry tomatoes from our garden. I had that mixture on some spinach tortillas topped with store-bought salsa and a little lettuce.

I went for a mountain bike ride with our next door neighbor recently and we got to talking about food. He's vegetarian and on-and-off vegan but he was saying that he feels like one of the obstacles to being completely vegan is time. He's really busy and often eating on the go and it is a little more difficult to eat out or get convenience foods that are vegan. Well Jason my friend, I looked at the clock tonight and exactly 20 minutes elapsed from the time I walked into the kitchen to the time I sat down to eat. Granted we often spend more time in the kitchen than that, and you can't eat burritos every night but I think it is possible to keep to a vegan diet even if you don't have a lot of time to cook.
