Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Chop the zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Place the chopped vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the avocado mole sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, cilantro, cocoa powder, lime juice, garlic clove, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos: spread a generous spoonful of the avocado mole sauce onto each tortilla. Add a layer of rice, black beans, roasted vegetables, shredded lettuce, and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Rock N Mole Veggie Burritos!
