Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 can Black beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Plant-based ground meat substitute
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Begin by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the plant-based ground meat substitute and taco seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until heated through and well combined.
Add the rinsed black beans to the skillet and mix until evenly distributed. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Warm the flour tortillas either in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a portion of cooked brown rice, the bean and meat mixture, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese onto each tortilla.
Top with slices of avocado and a handful of chopped cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom to cover the ingredients completely. Ensure the burritos are tightly wrapped.
Serve warm with a wedge of lime for squeezing over the top, and enjoy your Vegetarian Meatlovers Burrito.
