Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    If not already cooked, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse and drain the canned black beans. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. If using frozen corn, thaw it out. Wash and chop the fresh spinach.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and corn and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Beans and Spinach

    Stir in the black beans, fresh spinach, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Burritos

  1. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Lay out a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. In the center, layer approximately 1/2 cup of cooked rice, a generous scoop of the vegetable and bean mixture, and if desired, top with shredded cheese.

  2. 7

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Burritos
