Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Begin by making your brown rice. If you are using precooked brown rice, please disregard this step. Place brown rice and water in a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium/high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for around 35 to 40 minutes or until water is fully absorbed.

  2. While the brown rice is cooking, prepare the rest of your burrito. Lay tortillas on a clean, flat surface.

  3. Using a tablespoon as your scooper, spoon on around 3 tablespoons of refried beans onto each tortilla and spread it out.

  4. Then, spoon on 3 tablespoons of black beans, 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese, and around 3 tablespoons of cooked brown rice to each tortilla.

  5. Finally spoon on a heaping tablespoon of your favorite salsa (or more to taste).

Chef's Notes

Tips & Notes
Brown rice: option to use pre-cooked brown rice. In that case, use around 1.5 cups cooked.
Tortillas: This will make 6-8 burritos depending on how packed you like them!

Carla @ Foodie Digital ★ 5.0/5

These were so easy and delicious. Made up a big batch to pop in the freezer for easy meals (and then pulled them out the next day, hah!). Tip: if using fresh salsa which tends to be runny, try mixing it in with the rice before rolling the burritos so the rice absorbs the juices and you avoid a soggy wrap.

Jenny ★ 5.0/5

I put these in the air fryer for 7 mins at 350 degrees. Wrapped them in foil and reheated in the microwave all week. Perfection!

Brittani Buchanan ★ 5.0/5

Delicious! Quick & easy for a meal prep.

Kate ★ 5.0/5

These are great, love that they are a meatless option. Super easy to prepare and keep in the freezer. I love the creaminess the refried beans create.

I'm wondering how long is recommended to reheat them in the oven from frozen? Right now the recommendation is missing that info. Thanks!

Crystal O'Neal ★ 5.0/5
