Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 2 large whole grain tortillas
- 1 tbsp salsa
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by thoroughly rinsing black beans and quinoa, and finely dicing the bell peppers and onions.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables become slightly softened and translucent.
- Add cooked black beans and quinoa to the skillet, stirring gently to combine and warm through. Season with salt, pepper, and optional cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
- Warm the whole grain tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Place the warm tortilla on a flat surface and layer the bean and quinoa mixture in the center, leaving space at the edges for folding.
- Top the mixture with sliced avocado and drizzle salsa over the filling.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a compact burrito.
- Optional: Return the burrito to the skillet and lightly toast for 1-2 minutes on each side to create a crispy exterior.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, cook the quinoa and black beans the night before. Store them in the fridge for a quick assembly in the morning.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini to the mix. You can also spice it up with your favorite hot sauce or fresh herbs.
- Perfectly Warm Tortillas: For the best texture, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet instead of the microwave. This helps them become more pliable and adds a nice toasted flavor.
- Crispy Finish: If you love a crispy burrito, don’t skip the optional toasting step! A quick sear in the skillet will give your burrito a delightful crunch.
- Meal Prep: Make a batch of these burritos and freeze them. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil, and when you’re ready to eat, just reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal on the go.
