Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
- 2
While the rice is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften.
- 3
Add the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the drained black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- 5
Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet mixture. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mix, and fold everything together gently.
- 6
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
- 7
To assemble the burritos, place a generous scoop of the rice and bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado.
- 8
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Repeat for all tortillas.
- 9
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
