Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 package vegan ground beef
- 1 15 oz can, drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup salsa
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vegan ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the drained black beans, taco seasoning, tomato paste, and 0.5 cup of water. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a scoop of cooked rice to the center, followed by a generous amount of the vegan beef and bean mixture.
Step 7
Top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.
Step 8
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 9
Serve the burritos warm, optionally alongside fresh greens or your favorite hot sauce.
