A mild and nutritious burrito. The plantain added a different taste. I wasn't real taken with the sweetness from the plantain, but others really liked it. There was little moisture in the cooking mix - I ended up adding back a little of the drained bean liquid, just so the spices could simmer together a bit. I omitted the cilantro, and used a mexican cheese blend rather than cheddar, somewhat less than the recipe quantity.
