Time 24m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 limes (juiced)
1/2 onion (diced)
3 to 4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or olive oil)

Optional: pinch salt (to taste)
2 (10-inch) large tortillas

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, toss together cooked rice and fresh chopped cilantro, and drizzle with the lime juice. Heat in the microwave or on the stove just until hot, and give it a quick stir.
  • In a separate large skillet, sauté the onion in vegetable oil or olive oil for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the black beans or pinto beans, and season with the chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 whole wheat 8-inch tortilla
2 tablespoons no-salt-added canned black beans
2 tablespoons thinly sliced or shredded carrots
1 tablespoon mild jarred salsa

Steps:

  • Mash the avocado and lime juice together in a small bowl with a fork until it becomes a spreadable consistency.
  • Lay the tortilla out on a cutting board. Spread the mashed avocado on the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch outer border without any avocado. In the bottom third of the tortilla, lay out in a log shape the rice, beans, carrots and salsa. Roll over once tightly, then tuck in the sides and continue rolling. The avocado should help the burrito stay together. Cut in half. Wrap in a paper towel, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Serve at room temperature.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITOS



Refried Bean Burritos image

These are quick and fairly healthy if made with low fat ingredients, add some rice if you want to stretch them farther or just go with basic bean and cheese.

Provided by JMS0173

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (14 ounce) can refried beans (I use fat free)
1 teaspoon chili powder or 1 teaspoon ground dried chile
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 -5 dashes garlic powder
hot sauce
1 cup hot cooked rice (I usually omit) (optional)
8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded or thinly sliced (I use low fat)
your favorite salsa
1 package flour tortilla (10-in. The recipe usually uses 5 tortillas the way I make it)
chopped tomato
shredded lettuce
sliced black olives
sliced scallion
sliced jalapeno
sour cream
guacamole

Steps:

  • Place beans in microwave safe dish.
  • Stir in next 5 ingredients.
  • Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
  • Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
  • If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
  • Mix in rice, if using.
  • Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
  • Use the method you like best.
  • I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
  • Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
  • You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
  • I like to skip this step.
  • That's it!
  • These refrigerate well for a few days.
  • I can't speak for the freezer.
  • I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
  • Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
  • No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.

BLACK BEAN AND BROWN RICE BURRITOS



Black Bean and Brown Rice Burritos image

Make and share this Black Bean and Brown Rice Burritos recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Donna

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 8 burritos, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) can fat free black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large onion, finely grated
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon red chili powder
8 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In large mixing bowl mash beans with grated onion.
  • Stir in chiles, cilantro and chili powder.
  • Spread tortillas out on counter and place equal amounts of the bean mixture on each one.
  • Top with 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice.
  • Fold in sides and roll tortilla to completely enclose contents.
  • (this is easier if you heat the tortillas for a few seconds on each side on your stove burner) Place all 8 burritos, seam side down, in a sprayed or nonstick baking pan.
  • Pour salsa evenly over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with shredded lowfat cheese and fat free sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all great choices for burritos. If you're using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them before using.
  • Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you're using a rice cooker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your burritos the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overstuff the burritos: If you overstuff the burritos, they will be difficult to roll and eat. Aim for a burrito that is about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of filling.
  • Warm the tortillas before filling: This will make them more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll them up.
  • Garnish the burritos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Bean and rice burritos are a delicious and versatile meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious burritos at home.
