Hearty Vegetarian Burrito Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch)
• For the Rice:
• 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• For the Bean Filling:
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 can (400g) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Other Fillings:
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup corn kernels
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Salsa or hot sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare Cilantro-Lime Rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked rice with lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir well and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook Bean Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans, cumin powder, and chili powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and well combined. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Warm Tortillas: Warm the large flour tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side, or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds, or wrapping in foil and heating in a preheated oven (180°C/350°F) for 5-7 minutes. Warm tortillas are more pliable and easier to roll.

4. 4

   Assemble Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a line of cilantro-lime rice in the center, leaving space at the top and bottom. Then, add a line of bean filling next to the rice. Follow with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, corn kernels, and shredded cheese.

5. 5

   Add Sauces & Roll: Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt and salsa/hot sauce over the fillings. To roll: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling. Fold in the sides, then tightly roll the burrito from the bottom up until it's a neat, secure wrap.

6. 6

   Serve: Serve your Hearty Vegetarian Burrito immediately. You can cut it in half for easier eating. Enjoy!
