Ingredients

• 12 ounces dairy-free chorizo sausage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 15-ounce can canned black beans
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 large lime
• 0.5 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Crumble the dairy-free chorizo sausage into the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Drain and rinse the canned black beans, then add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture.

Step 6

Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, mixing well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas either in the microwave or on a skillet for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 8

Slice the avocado and chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.

Step 9

To assemble the burrito, place 1/4 of the chorizo-bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 10

Add a spoonful of salsa over the filling before folding the sides of the tortilla inwards and rolling it up tightly.

Step 11

Serve the burritos immediately, accompanied by the remaining lime wedges on the side.
