Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- Avocado and salsa for topping
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping: shred the cabbage finely, slice mushrooms, drain and rinse black beans.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Add shredded cabbage to the skillet with mushrooms. Sprinkle cumin, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir and cook for 6-7 minutes until cabbage becomes slightly tender but still maintains a slight crunch.
- In a separate pan, warm the black beans and corn together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Assemble burrito bowls by first laying a warm tortilla as the base, then layering the cabbage-mushroom mixture, black beans, and corn.
- Top each burrito bowl with fresh sliced avocado and your favorite salsa.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are warm and tortilla is soft.
Tips
- Mushroom Magic: For the most flavorful mushrooms, ensure your skillet is hot before adding them. This helps them brown beautifully and develop a rich, deep flavor.
- Cabbage Crunch Control: Cook the cabbage just until it's slightly tender but still maintains a bit of crispness. Overcooking will make it soggy and lose its vibrant texture.
- Tortilla Technique: Warm tortillas briefly to make them pliable and enhance their flavor. A dry skillet or quick microwave burst works perfectly.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to experiment with different toppings like cilantro, lime juice, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to add your personal touch.
- Meal Prep Hack: These burrito bowls can be prepared in advance. Store components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture and freshness.
