  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cilantro lime rice
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons canned green chiles
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • Extra lime wedges, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare cilantro lime rice as directed or use a quick substitute.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until lightly charred and softened. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine black beans, green chiles, cumin, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and garlic powder. Cover and microwave for 1½–2 minutes. Stir after heating.
  4. Warm tortillas in a pan or microwave until pliable.
  5. Assemble each burrito with rice, sautéed vegetables, black bean mixture, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
  6. Roll tightly and serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Quick substitute for cilantro lime rice: mix 2 cups cooked rice with juice of 1 lime and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
  • Make it vegan by omitting cheese and sour cream or using plant-based alternatives.
  • Wrap in foil for easy meal prep or lunchbox burritos.
