Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- 2
While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- 3
Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and corn to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- 4
Stir in the rinsed black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
- 5
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- 6
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
- 7
To assemble the burritos, place a generous portion of the rice and bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and then roll from the bottom to the top, creating a tightly wrapped burrito.
