- 4 large whole grain tortillas - 1 cup cooked brown rice - 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained - 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh - 1 red bell pepper, diced - 1 avocado, sliced - 1 medium red onion, diced To make tasty vegan burrito wraps, start with whole grain tortillas. They give a nice texture and are healthy. Next, you need cooked brown rice for a filling base. Black beans add protein and fiber, while corn brings sweetness. Fresh veggies like red bell pepper, avocado, and red onion add crunch and flavor. - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 teaspoon ground cumin - 1 teaspoon chili powder - ½ teaspoon garlic powder - Salt and pepper to taste Spices are key to flavor. Olive oil helps cook the veggies. Ground cumin gives warmth, while chili powder adds some heat. A pinch of garlic powder enhances everything. Don’t forget salt and pepper to taste; they balance the dish. - Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish) - Lime wedges (for serving) For a finishing touch, add fresh cilantro on top. It brightens the flavors. Serve with lime wedges on the side. A squeeze of lime juice adds a zesty kick that makes every bite pop! {{ingredient_image_1}} To start, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced red onion. Sauté it for about 3 to 4 minutes until it looks clear. Next, toss in 1 diced red bell pepper. Cook it for another 3 minutes until it’s soft. Now, it’s time to add some flavor. Stir in 1 cup of cooked brown rice, 1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained), and 1 cup of corn. For spices, add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until it’s warm. Lay out 4 large whole grain tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the veggie mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add several slices of avocado on top for creaminess. To wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla. Then roll it away from you to make a tight wrap. Repeat this with the other tortillas and filling. For a crispy finish, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos in the hot skillet and grill them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. You want them golden and slightly crispy. This adds a nice texture and brings out the flavors. Enjoy your delicious vegan burrito wraps! You can cook brown rice on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. Both methods work well. For stovetop cooking, use a pot with a lid. Combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes. Fluff it with a fork before using. If you use a rice cooker, the process is even easier. Just add the rice and water in the same ratio. Close the lid and press the cook button. The rice cooker will handle the timing and temperature. This method saves time and ensures perfect rice every time. To store leftover burrito filling, let it cool completely. Place it in an airtight container. It can last in the fridge for up to four days. For longer storage, you can freeze it. Use a freezer-safe bag or container. Squeeze out any air before sealing. This helps prevent freezer burn. When you reheat, use the microwave or a skillet. For the microwave, heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. In a skillet, add a little water and cover. Heat on low until warm. This keeps the filling moist and tasty. Meal prep is key for busy days. You can make burritos ahead of time and store them. Assemble the burritos as usual, then wrap them in foil or plastic wrap. Place them in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze them for up to three months. To freeze, wrap each burrito tightly. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave or oven. If using an oven, wrap in foil and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. This gives you a hot, tasty meal in no time. Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, opt for fresh vegetables and herbs to enhance the flavor and nutrition of your burritos. Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other veggies like zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms based on your preferences or what you have at home. Make Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge. You can assemble the burritos when you're ready to eat! Spice It Up: Adjust the spices to your liking; add more chili powder for heat or include a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick! {{image_2}} Want to boost the protein in your burrito? You can add tofu, tempeh, or seitan. Tofu is soft and absorbs flavor well. Just cube it and sauté it with your veggies. Tempeh has a nutty taste and provides a firm texture. Slice it and cook it like tofu. Seitan is chewy and mimics meat. It’s great for a hearty bite. Try these options to make your burrito more filling and nutritious. If you want a twist, try different tortillas. Whole grain is healthy, but gluten-free options exist. Look for corn or rice-based tortillas if you’re gluten-free. You can also use flavored tortillas. Spinach or tomato tortillas add color and taste. These choices can make your burrito fun and unique. Dare to explore new flavors for your burrito! A Southwest style uses smoky spices and black beans. For a Mediterranean twist, add hummus and olives. You can try an Asian-inspired burrito with ginger and bok choy. Each variation offers a unique taste adventure.

Remember to label the container with the date so you know when to enjoy them! If you want to save your burritos for later, freezing is a great option. Start by letting the assembled burritos cool completely. Once they are cool, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place the wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container.
