1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, toss together 2 cups cooked rice, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of lime from 2 medium limes, juiced. Heat in the microwave or on the stove just until hot, and give it a quick stir. 

2. In a large skillet, sauté 1/2 medium diced onion in 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add 3 to 4 medium cloves minced garlic, and cook 1 minute more.

3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans or pinto beans, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon hot sauce, or to taste, stirring to combine. You can add fine salt, to taste, if you'd like, but you shouldn't need too much with all the other seasonings. Allow the beans to cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

4. Divide the cilantro-lime rice and the black bean mixture onto 4 (10-inch) tortillas, lightly warmed, and add any additional toppings you want.

5. To wrap the burritos, fold the short ends in, then fold one long side over the filling and gently push to ensure the fold is tight before rolling up the remainder of the burrito.

6. Cut in half, and serve or store.

Feeling Adventurous? Try This:

• Clean out the fridge by adding this or that to the burrito. Switching out ingredients is part of the fun of this dish.

• Add salsa or pico de gallo, or use either to replace the hot sauce.

• Spice up the burrito with canned green chiles or fresh or jarred jalapeño slices.

• Toss 1/2 cup of corn or chopped bell pepper into the skillet when sautéing the vegetables.

• Fold in sliced avocado or a dollop of guacamole into the burrito.

• Add a chopped tomato or canned spicy, chunky tomatoes (drain it first).

• Shred vegan cheese and sprinkle it on the filling before folding.

• Shredded lettuce (although not common in a burrito) gives it an extra crunch.

• For a little extra protein, add a scrambled egg or some leftover tofu scramble. 

How to Store and Reheat

Wrap any leftover burritos tightly in plastic and refrigerate. Use within 2 days. To rewarm, remove the plastic and microwave on medium-low in short bursts in a microwave-safe dish until warmed through. I prefer mine reheated in our counter-top toaster oven.
