Ingredients

• 8 whole corn tortillas
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 can black beans
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large, sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 large, cut into wedges lime
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Start by warming the corn tortillas. Wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the tortillas are heating, prepare the black bean filling. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Rinse and drain the canned black beans, then add them to the skillet along with the cooked rice. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Season the bean mixture with ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.

Step 7

Remove the tortillas from the oven. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the black bean mixture down the center.

Step 8

Top each burrito with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Squeeze a little lime juice over the contents of each burrito for added freshness.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the burrito from bottom to top, securing the filling inside.

Step 11

Serve the burritos warm, with additional lime wedges on the side.
