instructions
    1

    Start by cooking the brown rice. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover. Let it cook for about 20 minutes until all water is absorbed.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, rinse and drain the black beans. Set aside.

    3

    Dice the bell pepper and zucchini into small pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes until they're tender.

    4

    Add the corn and black beans to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

    5

    Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet. Mix well to combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    6

    Warm the tortillas in a separate pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.

    7

    To assemble the burritos, place a generous amount of the veggie filling onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

    8

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

    9

    Serve with sour cream on the side and enjoy your homemade Burrito de Verduras!

How to be creative
  • Add some roasted jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Incorporate quinoa instead of brown rice for a different texture.
  • Top with your favorite hot sauce or salsa to enhance the flavors.
Important Tips
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables; they should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Rest the burritos seam-side down for a minute before serving to help them hold together.
  • Feel free to add other veggies like spinach or broccoli for added nutrients.
