Ingredients
Scale
Grains and Beans
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 14oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn
Vegetables & Herbs
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 2 avocados, peeled and cut into pieces
- 2 small hot chili peppers, chopped
- handful of parsley, chopped
- juice from ½ lemon
Spices & Sauces
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt (or more to taste)
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
Other
- 6 tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse and drain the brown rice. Soak it in water (1 cup rice to 2 cups water) for at least 1-2 hours, then rinse and drain again. Add the rice and fresh water to a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until water is absorbed completely. Stir in tomato sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Let the rice rest covered for 10 minutes to absorb flavors and steam.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse and drain black beans and corn. Dice the tomatoes, chop the parsley and hot chili peppers. Peel and cut the avocados into pieces and squeeze lemon juice over them to prevent browning and add freshness.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a portion of the seasoned rice in the center. Top with black beans, corn, tomatoes, parsley, chili peppers, and avocado pieces evenly over the rice.
- Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll burrito-style, ensuring the fillings are covered and secured inside the tortilla.
- Heat and Serve: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and warm for about 2 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden and slightly crisp. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful vegan burritos.
Notes
- Soaking rice before cooking helps reduce cooking time and produces fluffier grains.
- You can adjust the heat level by using fewer or milder chili peppers.
- Avocado can brown quickly; adding lemon juice helps preserve its color and freshness.
- These burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
- Feel free to add additional toppings like salsa, vegan sour cream, or shredded lettuce for extra flavor and texture.
