Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt to taste
Assembly
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- Pico de gallo for topping
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat to warm it up for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until they are softened and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add beans and rice: Stir in the drained black beans, cooked rice, cumin, chili powder, and salt into the skillet. Cook and stir for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld and the filling heat through.
- Warm tortillas: Use a separate pan to warm the whole wheat tortillas until they are soft and pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Assemble burritos: Spoon an even amount of the bean and rice mixture onto each warm tortilla.
- Add toppings: Place avocado slices and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo on top of the filling in each burrito.
- Wrap burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them tightly to secure all the fillings inside.
- Serve: Serve the burritos warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra protein, add scrambled tofu or vegan cheese inside the burritos.
- These burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for meal prep.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or reducing chili powder according to taste.
- Use fresh homemade pico de gallo or store-bought salsa as preferred.
- Whole wheat tortillas provide fiber, but you can substitute with gluten-free tortillas if desired.
