Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in black beans, cooked quinoa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the vegetable-quinoa mixture down the center. Top with a few slices of avocado and a sprinkle of vegan cheese.

Step 6

Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the ends, and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 7

Pour the vegan enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled burritos in the baking dish, ensuring each one is well-coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle any remaining vegan cheese over the top of the smothered burritos.

Step 9

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro and diced tomato before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious vegan smothered burrito!
