Bean Burrito Recipe
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
36 minutes
Servings:
4 burritos
Ingredients
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup guacamole
Directions
  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Season with ¼ teaspoon of salt and add the rice. Cover tightly with a lid and simmer until all the water is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Add the peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in places, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the beans to a separate small pot and place over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until warm, 3-5 minutes. Alternatively, warm the beans in the microwave.
  4. Place a tortilla in front of you and spread some of the beans in the center, leaving about a 2-inch border. Top with the rice, vegetables, and a few dollops of guacamole. Carefully roll the burrito, leaving it seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  5. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add the remaining oil. Place the burrito in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook until it's golden brown and sealed, about 2 minutes. Flip and crisp up the other side, about 1 minute more.
  6. Serve the burrito right away.
