Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface and spread the avocado sauce across the bottom third, leaving a 1-inch border.

Add fresh cilantro lime rice, chipotle black beans (use canned black beans or pinto beans if you prefer, add a little chili powder to give heat), and veggies, and squeeze a little optional lime juice and finely chopped fresh cilantro over the filling.

Tortilla with guacamole, black beans, and rice in it. — Spread avocado sauce over the bottom of your tortilla, then add the beans, and veggies.

Serve with red salsa, sour cream, or your favorite sauce, and enjoy!

Recipe notes and expert tips

Warm tortillas
Warm your tortillas, and you’ll find them far easier to fold.
Large tortillas?
If your tortillas are large, then cut the burrito in half.
Vegan burritos
The only ingredient that isn’t suitable for vegans in this vegetarian burrito recipe is the avocado sauce, as it’s made with sour cream, so use a vegan sour cream instead.

How to store leftover vegetarian burrito

Veggie burritos will keep for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Wrap the burrito tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep the tortilla from drying out.

You can also freeze burritos for up to 3 months; allow the frozen burritos to defrost in the fridge overnight.
