How to make a Vegan Burrito

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 15-ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed, see notes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt, see notes
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• Dash of red pepper flakes, optional
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1 and ½ cups cooked rice, I used short-grain rice
• ½ cup corn kernels, canned or cooked
• ½ cup romaine, julienned
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• 1-2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 avocado, mashed with a fork
• ½ batch of vegan sour cream, optional

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a skillet, add the beans and the spices (cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes), stir, and cook over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until the beans are hot, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
2. Place a tortilla on a work surface. Stuff the tortilla with some rice, beans, corn, romaine, tomato, cilantro, avocado, and vegan sour cream to taste. Fold in the sides and then roll it up and wrap in foil. Repeat this step with all the remaining tortillas.
3. Cook the burritos in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You can also use the oven or a griddle. Aluminum foil is optional, but it’s really convenient, especially if you’re going to freeze them or it’s your first time making burritos.
4. Serve your vegan burrito immediately with guacamole, salsa, or your favorite toppings.

Options:

• Make it gluten-free. If you have a brand of large, pliable gluten-free tortillas you love, feel free to use them instead of flour tortillas. Another great option is to forego the tortilla entirely and turn this recipe into a vegan burrito bowl.
• Add guacamole – It offers a rich and creamy contrast to the fresh veggies in the filling. Don’t feel like making guac? Avocado slices would work here too!
