Vegetarian Mexican Pita
"I had a craving for something with rice and black beans one night, and this is what I came up with. I still fiddle with the ingredients some every time I make it, and probably will until I have it "perfected". :) These are wonderful served with steamed corn as well."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a junior in high school who just recently started cooking after years of only hardly knowing how to boil water. =P I have found over the past few months that I LOVE to cook, more than I could have ever imagined--even if what I cook doesn't always turn out right.
First and foremost, however, I'm an artist. I also enjoy photography and martial arts (I'm a black belt in karate, but I study mixed martial arts). I currently have a part time job doing various things (mainly proofreading as well as a small amount of graphics) for a site known as Noble Sciences.
I'm very eccentric and often prefer the company of those older than me to the company of those my age. I value maturity, though I can often be very child-like when around the right people. Overall, however, I'm a pretty easy-going person who generally loves life. :)
