Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (any color, diced)
- 1 medium Red onion (diced)
- 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 1 large Avocado (sliced or diced)
- 1 cup Salsa
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the diced red onion and bell pepper in the skillet for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the black beans and corn kernels, and cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through. Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze in the lime juice. Stir to combine and set aside the mixture.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos by placing a scoop of cooked rice in the center of each tortilla, followed by the sautéed vegetable and bean mixture.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese (if using), avocado slices, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later. Enjoy!
