TIPS
- Mash Beans For Spreadability: Lightly mash the black beans for a more cohesive texture that holds together well.
- Warm Tortilla First: This prevents cracking when folding and makes the burrito easier to handle.
- Drain Salsa If Watery: Use a thicker salsa or drain excess liquid to avoid sogginess.
- Add Greens: Toss in a few spinach leaves or rocket for extra volume and nutrients.
VARIATIONS
- Add Scramble: Include tofu scramble or scrambled chickpeas for more protein and heartiness.
- Nut-Free Creaminess: Swap avocado with hummus for a creamy alternative.
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeño slices or hot sauce for heat lovers.
- Grilled Version: Lightly toast the rolled burrito in a pan for a crispy outside.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare several burritos at once and wrap them for the week ahead.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator Storage: Store wrapped burritos in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best results, keep salsa separate and add it just before eating.
- Freezer Storage: Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheating Tip: Reheat in a pan over low heat until warmed through or microwave for 45–60 seconds and wrapped in a paper towel.
