Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 package vegan ground beef
- 1 15 oz can, drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Begin by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vegan ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the drained black beans, taco seasoning, tomato paste, and 0.5 cup of water. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a scoop of cooked rice to the center, followed by a generous amount of the vegan beef and bean mixture.
Top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos warm, optionally alongside fresh greens or your favorite hot sauce.
