• 1 cup vegan chorizo crumbles
• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas (vegan)
• 1 sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and vegan chorizo crumbles to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chorizo is heated through.

Step 4

Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables and chorizo with the spices.

Step 5

Add the black beans and cooked brown rice to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 30 seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/4 of the chorizo and vegetable mixture onto the center.

Step 8

Layer a few slices of avocado on top, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and add a spoonful of salsa.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 11

Serve immediately, and enjoy your Vegan Chorizo Burrito!
