Ingredients/Variations
BEANS When it comes to beans, black beans are a favorite for this recipe. You can swap the beans out for any you have on hand. Try pinto beans, great northern beans, kidney beans, or even refried beans! RICE Instant rice cooked with a bit of salsa takes just a couple of minutes to prep and helps to fill you up while adding flavor. If you have leftover cilantro tomato rice or brown rice , that’ll work too and just add a scoop of salsa into each burrito before rolling. Couscous or quinoa would work perfectly too! VEGGIES I use bell pepper if I have it but if you’re short on veggies, frozen or canned corn is great too! CHEESE No burrito would be complete without a good dose of gooey cheese! My first choice is pepper jack but you can use cheddar or whatever else you have on hand. Bean burritos really lend themselves to all kinds of fun mix-ins and toppings!
Other Additions
No Beans? No problem! Double or triple the veggies and include your favorites. Mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini and corn are all great choices. Add ground turkey or beef and make beef and bean burritos. Jalapenos, avocado slices, chopped tomatoes or even your favorite taco toppings can be added. Add scrambled eggs to turn them into breakfast burritos. Swap out the rice for cauliflower rice
