Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas (vegan)
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup vegan ground beef
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup vegan sour cream
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and vegan ground beef. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and heated through.
Season the vegan ground beef with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Heat the black beans in a small pot or microwave until they are warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In another bowl, mix the chopped cilantro and juice of the lime with the salsa to create a cilantro-lime salsa.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, add 1/4 cup of the seasoned brown rice, followed by 1/4 cup of cooked black beans, and 1/4 cup of the cooked vegan ground beef.
Top with 1/4 cup of guacamole, and 1/4 cup of vegan sour cream, followed by a generous spoonful of cilantro-lime salsa.
Fold the sides of the tortilla up and over the filling, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top to create a burrito.
Repeat layers and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve the burritos immediately, optionally heating them on a pan for a minute on each side to seal and crisp up the tortillas.
