Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cooked brown rice, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the whole wheat tortillas over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    Place a portion of the bean and rice filling into the center of each tortilla. Top with diced avocado and a spoonful of salsa.

  4. 4

    Roll the Burritos

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burritos on a plate with additional salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
