Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil (1 tbsp) in a large pan with a lid over medium heat. Add onion (1 yellow) and cook until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add garlic (2 cloves) and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Stir in cumin (2 tsp) and smoked paprika (1 tsp) to coat the aromatics.

  4. 4

    Add black beans (2 cans), water (0.5 cup), and tomato paste (2 tbsp). Mix well, cover, and let simmer over low heat.

  5. 5

    Turn off the heat and add cooked brown rice (3 cups), limes (2) (juiced), and [chopped cilantro] if using. Stir until fully combined. Season with [salt and pepper] to taste.

    To soften the tortillas (6 burrito-sized), stack them on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 10 seconds. Flip the stack and microwave for another 10 seconds.

    To assemble, lay out a tortilla (1 burrito-sized) and add 1 cup of the filling near one edge. Fold the edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and continue rolling into a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
