Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole wheat flour tortillas
• 2 cups Brown rice, cooked
• 1 can Black beans, no salt added, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers are tender.

Step 3

Stir in the black beans, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 6

Lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the cooked brown rice across the center of each.

Step 7

Top the rice with the bean mixture, then add the avocado slices, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Drizzle some lime juice over the ingredients and season with black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it from the bottom up into a burrito shape.

Step 10

Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve warm, with additional cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
