Day 18: Chili, Black Bean and Corn Wraps

This is yet another quick, easy dish with lots of servings. I haven't been feeling well today (I'm on a Gluten Challenge Diet thanks to upcoming testing for Celiac Disease), so I really wanted something I could cook without thinking. Not only was it easy, it was tasty.

Chili, Black Bean and Corn Wraps
What you'll need:
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 small onion, diced
1 Roma tomato, diced
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 pkg. Chili seasoning mix
Shredded cheese
Romaine Lettuce or Spinach
8 Wraps (I used Mission Cheddar Jalepeno wraps)

In a large skillet, brown the beef mixing in the diced onions. After onions and beef are browning nicely, add in a 1/2 packet of Chili seasoning. Next, drain the beans and pour them into the skillet, then drain the corn only halfway. Pour the corn and remaining water into the skillet. Add in the second 1/2 of the packet of chili seasoning and reduce heat to medium low heat for about 5 minutes, mixing often so the Chili mixture is thoroughly heated. Taking the wraps, spoon out 1/2 cup of the mixture down the middle of each wrap, top the mixture with cheese, diced tomato, and lettuce before wrapping up. Yields 8 servings.


Ratings from the Experts*: 7/10 for hubby...he said he couldn't taste the beef enough. :-/. I disagree. I say at least 8/10. I liked the spiciness of it.
