Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 12 ounces Plant-based ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 can (16 oz) Refried beans
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Jalapeños (optional, sliced)
Instructions
Begin by cooking the brown rice. Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning to the skillet and stir well to coat the plant-based ground beef. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over medium heat until heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
To assemble the burritos, lay out each flour tortilla flat. Begin by spreading a quarter of the warmed refried beans evenly in the center of each tortilla.
Next, layer each tortilla with a quarter of the cooked rice, followed by a quarter of the cooked seasoned plant-based ground beef.
Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the plant-based ground beef on each tortilla.
Dollop 1/4 cup of sour cream on each burrito, spreading it gently across the ingredients for an even layer.
Top with a quarter cup of salsa and a handful of sliced jalapeños, if desired, to add some spice.
To wrap the burrito, fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing all fillings. Serve immediately and enjoy your vegetarian beefy five-layer burrito!
