Ingredients

• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup cooked black beans
• 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked black beans and cooked rice. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir to evenly coat the ingredients with the spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the broccoli mixture into the center of the tortilla.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling, and add a spoonful of sour cream and salsa if desired.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 11

Optionally, place the assembled burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to crisp up the tortilla.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious broccoli burritos!
