Vegetarian Burrito
This vegetarian burrito makes an easy meal for Meatless Monday’s or any day for that matter. It’s perfect for the busy weeknight meal when your too tired to cook. Even easier if you happen to have leftover rice in the fridge. You must have those days when you just don’t feel like cooking a large meal. I know I do, maybe too many of them. These burritos are so fresh and full of mouth-watering flavor! They were a huge hit with my family. So much so, they have requested I put them in my rotation.
Just add cilantro, lime zest and juice to the rice and mix well. If it’s leftover rice reheat before adding cilantro and lime.
Warm the beans. I used black beans because I prefer them over refried pinto beans. (use whichever you prefer) Layer beans, cheese, sour cream, avocado, and rice.
Add the Pico de Gallo and lettuce, roll and wrap. That’s it and dinner is on the table!
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoons lime zest
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 flour tortillas, large burrito size
- 1 15 oz can black refried beans
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 avocados, thinly sliced
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 1/2 cups lettuce, shredded
- Pico de Gallo
- 4 Roma tomatoes
- 1/4 cup red onion
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
-
Chop the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Warm rice, add cilantro, lime zest, and juice. Mix well.
-
Warm the refried beans.
-
Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer 1/4 of the beans, cheese, rice, avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo and lettuce. Fold the two sides in and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
-
Serve.

Vegetarian Burrito - REASONS TO SKIP THE HOUSEWORK
February 23, 2016[…] weeknights when you don’t have time to cook a large meal or just not in the mood. Add some cilantro rice to the mix and you’ve got a delicious vegetarian burrito in no time. Such a great weeknight […]
Julie @ Running in a Skirt
February 23, 2016Yum!!! These are right up my alley. I’m such a fan of burritos!
Martie
February 23, 2016Some variation of this is on our table at least once a week. I’m digging the cilantro lime rice idea! Does it actually work better with leftover rice, or does it soak up more flavor if you add it just after cooking? I’m terrible at cooking rice, but I’ll give it a go for this. Looks yummy! 🙂
DSTR
February 23, 2016I find it to work about the same. I usually heat the rice before adding the cilantro and lime. Thanks for stopping by, Martie!
