Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (unsalted)
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice
• 1 can No-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh or no-salt-added canned)
• 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Baby spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the corn, black beans, cumin powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and well combined.

Step 4

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 5

Assemble each burrito by spreading about 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 6

Top the rice with an equal portion of the vegetable and bean mixture.

Step 7

Add a handful of baby spinach, a few slices of avocado, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of fresh lime juice to each burrito.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 9

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go meal.
