Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 1 cup brown rice uncooked
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Bean Mixture

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans drained
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Burrito Assembly

  • 4 tortillas
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 avocado diced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions, usually simmering in water until tender. Once fully cooked, fluff it gently with a fork, then mix in the freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro to add bright, fresh flavors to the rice.
  2. Sauté the Onion and Beans: Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Stir in the drained black beans, ¼ cup of water, and the taco seasoning. Cook the mixture together for an additional 5 minutes to allow the beans to warm through and the flavors to meld.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable for wrapping. Spoon generous portions of the cilantro lime rice and the seasoned black bean mixture onto each tortilla. Top each with salsa and diced avocado for added creaminess and flavor.
  4. Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form burritos. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice with any rice of your choice, including cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
  • Gluten-free or grain-free tortilla shells are excellent alternatives; just warm them first to make them flexible.
  • Enhance the burritos with additional toppings such as cashew cream or vegan avocado crema for varied flavors and textures.
