Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 can low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 2 tablespoons salt-free taco seasoning
• 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
• 6 large whole wheat tortillas
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the salt-free taco seasoning, low sodium vegetable broth, and rinsed black beans. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add cooked brown rice to the mixture, and combine thoroughly. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas either in the microwave or a dry skillet for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Lay each tortilla flat and portion the beef and bean mixture evenly among them.

Step 8

Top each portion with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito.

Step 10

Serve each burrito with a wedge of lime for squeezing over just before eating.
