Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 yellow onion
• 15 ounces canned black beans
• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 lime
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 cup romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the garlic, onion, and chipotle pepper. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the skillet along with the chopped chipotle pepper, cumin, paprika, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat, and stir in the cooked brown rice to warm it through.

Step 5

While the beans and rice are cooking, dice the avocado and juice the lime. Chop the romaine lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the avocado with lime juice and half of the cilantro. Mash until smooth to create a simple guacamole.

Step 7

To assemble the burrito, lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a quarter of the guacamole in the center of the tortilla. Layer with a quarter of the black bean and rice mixture.

Step 8

Top with chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and the remaining cilantro.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the burrito tightly from one end to the other.

Step 10

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky, flavorful vegan chipotle burritos!
