A burrito is a delicious, portable answer to on-the-go meals. They are the fusion food in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped around various ingredients. The vegan burrito is stuffed with brown rice, black beans, corn, vegan sour cream, and guacamole. They have so much flavor and texture going on, it’s just like happiness in your mouth (and tummy).
This basic recipe includes plenty of Mexican spices, is a great way to use up leftover rice, and can be customized to whatever you have on hand. It is self-contained in terms of flavour with a bit of tang, spice and cheesiness, and is quite filling too… making them the perfect comfort food!
