- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 4 servings, or 8 hand sized burritos
- Category: Entree
- Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients
- 8 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 cups cooked black beans, or from a can, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup salsa of your choice
- 2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup guacamole, made from 1 avocado
- Hot sauce, optional
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions. I like to use my microwave, for 10 seconds per tortilla.
- Heat a large heavy bottomed skillet over medium low heat (I prefer cast iron).
- Working with a single tortilla, spoon 1/4 cup rice and beans each down the center in a line. Spread 2 TBS guacamole next to the rice and beans. Top with 2 TBS salsa and 1/4 cup cheese. Add a splash of hot sauce, if using.
- To roll the tortilla, place it so that the line of rice and beans is parallel to you. Fold in the sides, and flip the top closest to you over the sides, using your thumbs. Roll the burrito forward until the seams meet.
- Place the burrito seam side down in the hot skillet. Use cooking spay on the skillet if it seems like the tortillas are sticking. Cook 1 minute on each side or until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Turn down the heat on the stove if the burritos are cooking faster than you can roll them. A 10 inch skillet is the perfect size to cook 2 burritos at a time.
Notes
If your rice or beans are coming cold out of the fridge or freezer, heat them in the microwave before adding to the burrito. This will promote even heating so the center of your burrito will not be cold.
If you have trouble rolling the burritos, try using a little less filling.
