Ingredients

• 4 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 1 can (15 oz) Canned black beans
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 cup Salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the black beans, ground cumin, paprika, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.

Step 5

Remove the black beans from heat and mash slightly with the back of a fork to create a chunky texture.

Step 6

Warm the gluten-free tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the burrito by layering the center of the tortilla with 1/4 cup cooked quinoa, 1/4 of the black bean mixture, a few slices of avocado, a drizzle of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of salsa, a handful of shredded lettuce, and a tablespoon of diced tomatoes. Add cilantro if using.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or toast the rolled burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to crisp up the tortilla.

Step 10

Enjoy your gluten-free vegan burritos with extra salsa or guacamole on the side if desired!
