Description

Tender burritos filled with black beans, brown rice, corn, and vegetables, then baked under enchilada sauce and melty vegan cheese for a cozy, satisfying dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups vegan enchilada sauce, divided
  • 1 cup vegan shredded cheddar-style cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced, optional for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the black beans, cooked brown rice, corn, and salsa. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until warmed through and combined.
  5. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla into a burrito and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce over the burritos and sprinkle the vegan shredded cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes, then top with chopped cilantro and serve with avocado slices if desired.

Notes

  • Warm the tortillas briefly before rolling to help prevent cracking.
  • Taste the filling before assembling so you can adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne to the filling.
