Description

This Bean and Rice Burrito recipe combines hearty brown rice and seasoned black beans wrapped in a warm tortilla, topped with fresh salsa and creamy avocado. It’s a flavorful, vegetarian-friendly meal that’s easy to prepare and perfect for a wholesome lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 1 cup brown rice uncooked
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Beans and Seasoning

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Assembly

  • 4 tortillas
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 avocado, diced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the brown rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro to infuse bright, fresh flavors.
  2. Sauté Onion and Beans: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the drained black beans, water, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beans to heat through.
  3. Warm Tortillas and Assemble Burritos: Slightly warm the tortillas to make them pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the cilantro-lime rice and seasoned black beans onto each tortilla. Top with salsa and diced avocado for extra creaminess and flavor.
  4. Wrap and Serve: Carefully wrap each tortilla around the fillings to form burritos. Serve them immediately while warm to enjoy a satisfying, fresh meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any type of rice you prefer, including cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Gluten-free or grain-free tortillas can be substituted; just warm them up first to make them more pliable.
  • Enhance your burritos by adding toppings like cashew cream or vegan avocado crema for extra richness and flavor.
