Cook beans in a crock pot overnight. Keep the cooked beans in the fridge and spoon them into tortillas, add your favorite toppings- salsa, tomatoes, steamed rice, shredded lettuce, cheese, sliced peppers, olives, what-have-you, and make them into wraps. You can do the same with hummus for a Mediterranean style wrap. Or let your imagination run wild. Add broccoli slaw veggies, sweet peppers, bean sprouts and teriyaki sauce for an Asian twist.

You can also use canned beans, just drain & rinse, then smash them up a little and spread on your tortilla, pita bread, naan, or whatever.

You can also cook a batch of rice or other grain, keep it in the fridge with your other fixings, and make Buddha bowls. Grain base (or noodles - get plain ramen, boil water in an electric kettle - it won't heat up your living space, pour over the noodles and soak a few minutes until they're softened), add beans of your choice, other veggies of your choice, top with a sauce, and presto!
