Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium bell peppers (any color), diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the black beans, cooked rice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and lime juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
Lay a tortilla flat and layer the center with 1/4 of the veggie bean mixture, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and optional sour cream or salsa, if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the veggie burritos warm and enjoy!
