Tips:

  • Cook the Black Beans Perfectly: To ensure tender and flavorful beans, simmer them in a flavorful broth made with garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until the beans are soft but still hold their shape.
  • Make the Rice: While the beans are cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Fluff the rice with a fork before using.
  • Prepare the Veggies: Dice the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño, if using. For added flavor, roast the veggies before adding them to the burritos.
  • Assemble the Burritos: Spread a large tortilla with a thin layer of mashed avocado, followed by the cooked black beans, rice, roasted veggies, and your favorite toppings. Fold the tortilla tightly, ensuring it's secure.
  • Grill or Pan-Fry the Burritos: For a crispy exterior, heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the burritos for a few minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
  • Serve with Sauces and Toppings: Serve the grilled burritos with your favorite sauces, such as salsa, pico de gallo, or guacamole. You can also add shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor.
