Ingredients

• 4 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Red onion, diced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.5 cup Vegan cheese or regular shredded cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced red onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion starts to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the diced bell pepper and zucchini, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Add the black beans, cooked quinoa, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 6

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

Step 7

To assemble, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1/4 of the vegetable and bean mixture down the center of the tortilla.

Step 8

Top with sliced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired.

Step 9

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 11

Serve the burritos immediately or wrap them in foil for an on-the-go meal.
