Veggie Burrito Recipe

Burrito Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced red onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add corn and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Filling Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, black beans (drained and rinsed), sautéed vegetables, chopped cilantro, lime juice (squeezed from the lime), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Prepare Tortillas

   Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

5. 5

   Assemble Burritos

   To each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the filling mixture and a few slices of avocado. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.

6. 6

   Serve

   Cut the burritos in half if desired, and serve with extra lime wedges and salsa on the side.
