Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dice the red and green bell peppers, red onion, and slice the avocado. If using frozen corn, measure out 1 cup and allow it to thaw.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    If you haven't already, cook the rice according to package instructions. This typically takes about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Beans

    Open the can of black beans, drain, and rinse them under cold water to remove excess sodium.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the diced red and green bell peppers and red onion for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft.

  2. 5

    Add Corn and Spices

    Stir in the corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Combine the Fillings

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, cooked rice, black beans, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Assembling the Burritos

  1. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top the filling with sour cream, shredded cheese, and avocado slices.

  3. 9

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve Warm

    Serve the burritos warm with additional sour cream and salsa on the side if desired.
