Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Pinto beans
• 3 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Vegan cheddar cheese shreds

• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces Lime wedges
• 0.5 cup Salsa

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the pinto beans under cold water, then place them in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Add 3 cups of water to the saucepan with the beans and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans for approximately 20-25 minutes or until they are tender.

Step 4

Once the beans are cooked, strain them and return to the saucepan.

Step 5

Add the onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt to the beans. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the beans until you reach a creamy, slightly chunky consistency. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

In the meantime, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Warm each flour tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.

Step 9

To assemble each burrito, place a quarter of the mashed beans in the center of each warm tortilla.

Step 10

Layer 1/4 cup of vegan cheddar cheese shreds over the beans.

Step 11

Top with slices of avocado, diced tomato, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve the burritos warm with a lime wedge on the side.
