I have to start by saying that we are not big burrito eaters in my house. That being said, I think we'll eat them more often now that I have found such an easy, clean recipe for them! These take a little forethought to put together, but are really very simple to do. First you make a batch of brown rice. (That's the forethought part- you can even make the rice the night before if that's easier for you.) Once that's made you can start getting the burritos together. I fancied them up a tad- her recipe just calls for cooked beans (I used kidney beans), but I decided to heat them in a skillet with a bit of water and mash about half of them up. I also added a bit of garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper to the beans to spice them up a bit. To assemble the burritos I simply put a little bit of the brown rice in the center of a tortilla with some of the bean mixture. Then I added chopped cucumber, avocado, shredded lettuce, and chopped cilantro and rolled that bad boy up! Serve them up with some vegan sour cream and maybe a bit of salsa and you have dinner. I love this recipe because it's simple, clean, delicious, AND a complete meal in one cute little package! You get your protein, carbs, and veggies all in one! I love that! These are also excellent as leftovers for lunches- so you'll be sure to use up all the leftover ingredients- no waste! I know I'll make these again this summer- they are filling without being heavy- perfect for the nice weather.
My rating- 9
