Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked black beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium avocado, sliced or mashed
- 0.5 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- to taste hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in fresh lime juice.
To assemble the burritos, lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Add 1/4 cup of cooked rice to the center of the tortilla.
Top the rice with a generous scoop of the black bean mixture, about 1/4 cup.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans, followed by diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and avocado slices.
Finish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired. Add a few drops of hot sauce for extra spice, if preferred.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for meal prep or sharing with friends and family.
