Instructions

Rinse and cook your rice according to package instructions.* (Or prepare this in advance.)
Meanwhile, press excess moisture from tofu (either with a tofu press or between paper towels). Then crumble tofu in a medium bowl. Add taco seasoning and lime juice. Stir well to combine.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add tofu mixture. Sauté 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu is lightly browned. Then add black beans (rinsed and drained). Stir and heat for 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice avocado and prepare desired toppings.
Assemble burritos: Spoon cooked rice, tofu/black bean mixture, salsa, avocado, and any other toppings of choice down the center of a tortilla. (I warm my tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before filling for better pliability.) Tuck ends in, and tightly roll up.
Crispy burrito option: Place finished burritos on a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Let heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crispy.

Notes

*To cook rice: In a small saucepan, I combine 1 cup rice with 1 3/4 cup water. Then bring to a light boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for 35-40 minutes.
For gluten-free + oil-free: Use your favorite GF/oil-free tortillas. Or omit the tortillas and make a rice bowl or baked potato bowl instead.
Toppings: Don't forget to add your favorite toppings for flavor and texture!
