Ingredients

• 4 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 2 cups Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1.5 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1 cup Corn kernels (cooked or canned, drained)
• 1 medium Bell pepper (diced)
• 1 small Red onion (finely diced)
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional, ensure gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the avocado-lime sauce by mashing the avocado in a small bowl, then mixing it with lime juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the diced bell pepper and red onion for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Warm the gluten-free tortillas according to the package instructions to make them pliable and easier to roll.

Step 5

Assemble the burritos: Place a gluten-free tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the avocado-lime sauce in the center of the tortilla.

Step 6

Layer with 0.25 cup of cooked rice, a portion of the bean and vegetable mixture, shredded lettuce, salsa or pico de gallo, and shredded cheese (if using).

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure the burrito.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 9

Serve immediately with additional avocado-lime sauce or salsa on the side, if desired.
