Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 large Avocado (sliced)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 medium Red onion (diced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Lime (juiced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, sugar-free)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add diced bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
Add black beans to the skillet and season with cumin, paprika, chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos: Start by layering 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice on each tortilla.
Top the rice with the sautéed bean and vegetable mixture.
Add slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of fresh lime juice over the top.
If using salsa, spoon 1-2 tablespoons (or desired amount) onto the filling.
Roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito, folding in the sides as you roll.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.
