Description

This tasty vegetarian burrito is loaded with cilantro lime rice, seasoned black beans, roasted corn, and a deliciously spicy burrito sauce for a complete meal that is packed with flavor!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 lime, halved
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 14oz can corn, drained
  • 1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 4 large burrito tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: avocado, additional cilantro, hot sauce, etc.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Cook the rice according to package directions, then mix the cooked rice with 1 tablespoon butter, juice from half the lime, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  2. Prepare the corn: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roast the corn for 5-6 minutes until it begins to brown.
  3. Prepare the beans: Combine the black beans, cumin, chili powder, and oregano in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated. (Alternatively, you can sautè the beans in a skillet for 4-5 minutes.)
  4. Prepare the sauce: Blend the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and juice from the remaining half a lime until blended.
  5. Assemble the burritos: Warm the tortillas in the microwave with a damp paper towel.
  6. Divide the rice, corn, and beans between the four tortillas.
  7. Top each mixture with ¼ cup shredded cheese. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the burrito sauce. Roll the tortilla tightly. For a crispy burrito, heat in a lightly oiled skillet over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown.


Notes

Note: You may have a little leftover filling. I had enough for one additional burrito, but I enjoyed it as a burrito bowl!
