Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound vegan ground beef substitute
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the vegan ground beef substitute to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and slightly crispy.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and salt and black pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the spices are well distributed.
Warm the flour tortillas by heating them in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a quarter of the brown rice and a portion of the cooked vegan meat and bean mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
Top with a few slices of avocado, a spoonful of salsa, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, and a bit of fresh cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more burritos.
Serve the burritos warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the filling.
