Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups cooked black beans
• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 large ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 medium chopped tomato
• 0.5 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they become soft and fragrant.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the beans are heated through and the spices are well combined. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro to create a creamy avocado spread. Add a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a large dry skillet over low heat or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the burritos, spread a layer of the mashed avocado mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add a scoop of rice, followed by the seasoned black bean mixture.

Step 7

Top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and a spoonful of salsa. Be careful not to overfill the tortillas.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or wrap the burritos in foil for easy handling on the go.
