Health and fertility benefits of Veggie Burritos

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola oil
3 large carrots, small dice
1 cup broccoli, small dice
1 cup cauliflower, small dice
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 large low-carb whole wheat tortillas
8 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded, cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 large tomato, diced
½ avocado, sliced (into 8 slices)

Instructions

Heat oil in sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Add the beans, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and garlic powder, and stir to incorporate. Cook for 5 more minutes.
Scoop ¼ of the veggie mixture into a tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons of cheese, ¼ cup lettuce, diced tomatoes, and 2 avocado slices. Fold into a burrito. Repeat the procedure for the remaining 3 burritos.
