These beauties bring together vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients, making for a quick, satisfying meal that you can enjoy any day of the week. Whether you’re a long-time veggie lover or just dipping your toes into plant-based eating, these wraps are a delightful addition to your cooking repertoire.
Why you’ll love this recipe
There’s so much to love about these burrito wraps, starting with the simple fact that they’re vegan! You don’t have to compromise on taste or satisfaction here. Packed with protein from black beans, healthy fats from ripe avocado, and sweet pops of corn that dance on your palate, each bite is a burst of flavor that feels both indulgent and nourishing. Plus, they’re super customizable. Want to throw in a bit of spice? Go nuts with chili powder or add some jalapeños. Feeling adventurous? Try swapping out the black beans for pinto beans or lentils!
Another bonus? They’re ready in the blink of an eye. On those hectic days when you find yourself juggling a million tasks, you can still whip up something nutritious without spending half your life in the kitchen. Seriously, these wraps can save the day—straight from your pantry to your plate in under 10 minutes!
Gather these ingredients
To create these delightful burrito wraps, you’ll need the following key ingredients:
- 1 (15-ounce) can of Black Beans: The star of our show! Rinsed and drained, these beans provide a hearty, protein-rich base. Not only do they fill you up, but they’re also super high in fiber, keeping your digestive system happy.
- 1 large ripe Avocado: Make sure it’s ripe, and you’ll be in creamy heaven. This avocado brings a luscious texture and healthy monounsaturated fats. You want that buttery goodness to really come through.
- ½ cup of Frozen or Canned Corn: Thaw if it’s frozen; drain if canned. Corn adds a burst of sweetness that beautifully contrasts with the other ingredients. Who doesn’t love a hint of crunch?
- ¼ cup of finely chopped Red Onion: It’s zingy, it’s zesty, and it adds a vibrant splash of color to the filling. Plus, the bite from the onion cuts through the richness of the avocado—total harmony in a wrap!
- ¼ cup of fresh Cilantro: This herb is key for that classic burrito flavor. Chopped fresh, sprinkling cilantro over the mix brings freshness and brightness. If you’re not a fan, feel free to skip it!
- 1 tablespoon of Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is always your best bet. Lime juice not only adds zing but also helps keep the avocado green and fabulous!
- ½ teaspoon of Cumin Powder: This earthy spice gives depth and a warm smokiness. It’s like a gentle hug of flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon of Chili Powder: For those who like a gentle warmth. Adjust according to your spice preference; it’s your burrito, your rules!
- Salt and Black Pepper: Always key to elevate the flavors. A little sprinkle goes a long way.
- 4 large (10-inch) Flour Tortillas: These are your cozy envelopes of goodness. Large tortillas help prevent tears while rolling. Whole wheat or gluten-free varieties will work just fine if you need them!
Preparing 10-Minute Vegan Burrito Wraps
-
In a medium mixing bowl, grab your ripe avocado. Use a fork to mash it up against the bowl until you hit your desired texture—whether smooth or a bit chunkier.
-
Squeeze in that fresh lime juice and mix it in. This isn’t just for flavor; it’ll keep your avocado from browning too soon, making your filling look fantastic.
-
Add the rinsed black beans, corn (drained or thawed), red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.
-
Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Remember, be careful with the salt; you can always add more later, but you can’t take it out!
-
Using a spatula or spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together. Make sure to keep those black beans whole; nobody likes mushy beans!
-
If you want, now’s the time to warm your tortillas up. Heat them in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or stack them and microwave for 30-45 seconds. This makes them totally pliable and less likely to crack.
-
Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about one-quarter of the filling into the center, forming it into a rough log shape. Leave some space at the top and bottom for rolling.
-
To roll, fold the short sides of the tortilla over the filling, then start rolling from the edge closest to you, tucking it snugly. Keep rolling until the burrito is sealed up! Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
-
These burritos are best enjoyed right away while the fillings are fresh and the tortillas are warm! You can slice them on a diagonal for a lovely presentation, but who am I to tell you what to do!
Best way to enjoy it
These burrito wraps can be served in so many delightful ways. Enjoy them as is for a light meal or pair them with a fresh side salad for a little crunch. A fresh pico de gallo or a dollop of homemade guacamole elevates them to another level! Want a little cheeky twist? Serve them with a side of chips and some salsa for dipping—you won’t regret it.
Storage and reheating tips
Need to save some for later? No problem! You can store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in a pan or microwave when you’re ready to dig in. If you want to freeze some, wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper then store in a freezer bag for up to a month. Just remember, warm them gently to ensure that delicious creamy avocado stays intact.
Pro chef tips
- Keep your avocado from browning immediately after cutting by adding lime juice; it’s a game changer!
- For added depth, toast your cumin and chili powder in the skillet for a moment before adding them. You’ll be amazed at the flavor boost!
- Feel free to double the recipe and enjoy a meal prep day—these burritos make for quick lunches all week long.
Creative Twists
Bored of the same flavors? Spice things up! Try adding some sautéed bell peppers or kale for an extra veggie punch. Want something a little different? How about adding grilled mushrooms or roasted sweet potatoes? For an Asian twist, swap in a hoisin sauce drizzle and add some sesame seeds on top—let your imagination run free!
