Vegan Burritos with Black Beans and Mexican Rice (Make-and-Freeze)

Step 1

Prepare the black beans and rice according to recipe instructions.

Step 2

Bring your tortillas to room temperature, or warm them slightly for even better pliability. One by one, lay down a tortilla, then spread about 1/4 cup of rice and 1/4 cup of beans on one side. If using, add a little bit of vegan queso and/or salsa.

Step 3

Fold the tortilla over the filling, then press it down on the other side and push the filling back a little bit. (See photos in the blog post for a visual aid). Fold in the sides, and then, holding in the sides, gently roll up the burrito. Proceed to fill and roll the rest of the vegan burritos.

Step 4

Eat warm, or freeze for up to a month to eat later. To freeze your vegan burritos, lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and stick it in the freezer. Once the burritos have frozen, you can transfer them to a bag or airtight container of your choosing.

Step 5

To reheat frozen burritos in the microwave (tested using an 1100-watt microwave), place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Flip over the burrito, letting it rest for 30 seconds, then microwave it for another 1 minute 15 seconds. Enjoy hot.
