Quick, & Healthy Meal On a Budget

Black Bean and Pepper Tortillas

Many people look at being a vegetarian as a hassle. They think that it takes forever to make a meal. And even when it’s prepared they ask, “how can it possibly be good without meat?” As a vegetarian, I’ve made it my BUSINESS to prepare easy, cost effective meals that don’t a long time to make. I’m ALWAYS busy, if I’m not at XTREME Fitness teaching boot camp classes or training a client, I’m home being supermom to a three year old. Therefore, I have to be quick and everything needs to ALWAYS look and seem effortless. So with that being said, I offer to you: 10-20 Min Black Bean and Peppers Tortillas. Enjoy!
