Vegan Burritos Recipe With Cilantro Lime Rice And Black Bean

The things which I like the most about Mexican food are its refreshing flavors and the ease with which their vegan and vegetarian version can be created. It’s one of my favorite cuisines and today’s recipe vegan cilantro lime rice and black bean burrito is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. The other one is Vegan burritos with bean rice and mushrooms which I have already shared on this blog. They are perfect to be eaten at any time of the day. Don’t get overwhelmed by the different layers added to these Burritos. They all are very easy to make and get ready within minutes.

Layer 1: Cilantro lime rice is made by cooking rice with some cilantro, lime juice/ zest, salt, and vegetable bouillon.Layer 2: Black beans and corn- Just cook some canned/ boiled black beans with corn kernel, onions, and garlicLayer 3: Simple classic Guacamole.

Once your layers are ready, you only need to put them on top of a Tortilla, roll and slightly toast. The result is a treat of Mexican flavors and textures.

How to make gluten-free burritos?

Except for tortillas, every other ingredient in this dish is gluten-free. Though corn is naturally gluten-free, not all corn tortillas are free from gluten as some other ingredients are also added to make them. However, now a lot of companies are manufacturing gluten-free tortillas. So, if you are on a gluten-free diet but want to enjoy burritos, make sure you use gluten-free tortillas.

Can you freeze them?

If you want to freeze these vegan burritos, don’t add onion and tomatoes to the Guacamole as they don’t freeze well. For freezing purposes, make the guacamole by mixing mashed avocados with lemon juice, jalapenos/ chilies, salt, pepper, and coriander leaves. Wrap the burritos in aluminum foil before putting in the freezer. When you want to eat, thaw them, remove the foil and reheat in the microwave.
