Bean Burritos, Rice, and Leftover Chard

The chard did not get finished off, so was reheated and served again.  But I had made a lot of chard.
This was another collaborative meal, since it was girl scout meeting night.
I cooked the pintos with some onions in the small crock pot (which is a 1.5 qt crock) and started the rice in the rice cooker and made the guacamole (avocado, chopped onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt and diced tomato (some of the grape tomatoes we still had left from last week's co-op share))

While I was out playing cab service to the girl child the husband got home from work and made the burrito filling which he informs me was to saute some onion and garlic in oil, then add beans that had the liquid strained off and mash them as he went.

The rice was taken from the rice cooker and a bit of lime juice added as well as some chopped fresh parsley.  The husband really liked the rice, I wasn't real thrilled with it.  But then he ate his inside his burrito, and I prefer my rice eaten by itself.

The tortillas are whole wheat tortillas from Central Market.  I warmed them with a damp paper towel in the microwave, since I had been storing them in the refrigerator. And my burrito was filled with just the beans and some Pace medium chunky salsa.  And I dipped it in the guacamole.  Once I realized how good the guacamole was with it, I sort of wish I had put it in the burrito.  My husband had 2 burritos with everything in it.
 The girl child ate before her meeting with a frozen no cheese veggie pizza, which she then spoiled with adding pepperoni to.
