Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat.
- Split the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise down the middle. Brush them and the corn with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill until the veggies are somewhat soft and have nice grill marks. Allow to cool slightly, then cut the squash and zucchini into large dice. Scrape the corn from the cob.
- Warm the tortillas in a microwave. Heat the black beans in a pot and mash with a fork.
- To build the burritos, heap some Garlic Cilantro Lime Rice, mashed beans and diced veggies in the middle of each tortilla. Top with grated cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions and sour cream. Tuck in the ends and roll into a burrito shape.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice and salt. Cook over a low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to make sure the rice doesn't burn. Add 2 cups of the broth and the juice and zest of 2 limes and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid as needed. The rice shouldn't be sticky.
- Just before serving, stir through the juice of 1 lime and lots of chopped cilantro.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350.
- In large saute pan over medium heat.
- saute vegetables in the salad dressing until just cooked.
- add salsa and heat through.
- add 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- stir until melted.
- lay tortillas on flat surface.
- divide veg mixture among them.
- fold each into burritos.
- Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- sprinkle remaining cheese over.
- bake for 15-20 min or until just crisp.
- Add toppings of your choice.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Tortillas: Opt for large, sturdy tortillas that can hold all your fillings without tearing. Corn or whole-wheat tortillas are great options.
- Prep Your Veggies: Wash and chop your vegetables evenly so they cook evenly. Bell peppers, onions, and zucchini are common choices, but feel free to mix and match your favorites.
- Don't Overfill: While it's tempting to pack your burrito full of fillings, remember that you still need to be able to roll it up. Overfilling can make it difficult to fold and may cause the burrito to fall apart.
- Layer Your Fillings: Start with a layer of rice or beans, then add your veggies, protein, and cheese. This helps distribute the ingredients evenly and prevent them from falling out when you take a bite.
- Fold Correctly: To properly fold a burrito, start by folding the bottom edge up over the fillings. Then, fold the left and right edges inward. Finally, roll the burrito up tightly from the bottom, making sure to tuck in the sides as you go.
- Grill or Pan-Fry: For a crispy, flavorful burrito, grill or pan-fry it until golden brown. This adds a nice smoky flavor and helps hold the burrito together.
Conclusion:
Veggie burritos are a delicious, versatile meal that can be customized to your liking. With endless variations of fillings, from roasted vegetables to flavorful proteins, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply looking for a healthier meal option, veggie burritos are a great choice for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast.
