Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 oz can black beans drained
  • 1 oz can corn drained
  • 1 oz jar salsa
  • 1 ½ cups brown rice 270 g
  • 1 oz packet taco seasoning
  • 3 cups water
  • 6 large tortillas we used low carb tortilla wraps
  • Additional filling options: guacamole, iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo, vegan sour cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Flavor Base: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large saute pan or pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium red onion (diced) and 1 red bell pepper (diced). Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onion is soft. Add 2 cloves garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.
  2. Fillings: Add 1 15-oz can black beans (drained), 1 15-oz can corn (drained), 1 16-oz jar salsa, 1 ½ cups brown rice, 1 1-oz packet taco seasoning, and 3 cups water.
  3. Cook: Stir, cover, and cook at a gentle simmer until rice is fully cooked, 40 to 50 minutes.If water is all gone but rice is not done yet, add more water, ½ cup at a time. If there is still water but rice is finished, remove lid and cook uncovered to reduce the liquid.
  4. Assemble: Spoon filling onto your tortilla, along with your desired additional fillings (we did guacamole and lettuce). Fold the sides over then roll into burritos.We found this to be easier if you roll the burrito on top of a piece of aluminum foil. Once you roll the burrito, wrap it in foil before cutting in half. This will hold everything together, no matter your burrito rolling skills!

Notes

  • If you use white rice, reduce cook time to 20 to 25 minutes.
