Bean and Rice Burrito
Description
The Bean and Rice Burrito is built around a spiced bean mixture combining black and kidney beans, seasoned with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, and smoked paprika. These flavors develop as the beans cook with fire-roasted tomatoes and sautéed onions, infusing the filling with both smokiness and warmth. Brown rice adds hearty texture and body to the mix. Assembling the filling inside large tortillas makes for a portable, versatile dish that can be eaten as a quick lunch or light dinner. Toppings of shredded romaine, diced tomato, and avocado provide fresh contrast in flavor and texture against the warm, spiced filling. Optional hot sauce can add an extra kick for those who enjoy heat.
