Vegan Burrito

By Darshana Thacker,

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ¾ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • ¾ cup canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 4 7- to 8-inch whole grain tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or kale
  • ½ avocado, seeded, peeled, and sliced
  • ¼ to ½ cup salsa
  • Bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan cook onion in vegetable broth over medium heat 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using); cook and stir 1 minute more.
  2. Stir in corn and beans; cook 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. If desired, stir in nutritional yeast. Season with salt.
  3. In a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm tortillas one at a time 40 seconds or until warm and pliable, turning once. Cover with a damp cloth to keep warm.
  4. Spread ¼ of the bean mixture onto each tortilla just below the center. Top with ½ cup of lettuce, 2 or 3 slices avocado, and 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla over filling. Fold in opposite sides; roll up tortilla. Place burritos, seam sides down, on a platter. Serve warm. If desired, pass hot pepper sauce.

Looks good, but where I’m from, Southern California, a California burrito is one with french fries in it, haha.

Was a wonderful dinner. My husband loved them. He makes the best Salsa and that added to it, also we had charred Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta and Pine Nuts. Thank you.

These were delicious. I used almond flour wraps. My family requested that we put them in our monthly rotation.
