Q1: What is the absolute best way to fold a burrito so that the fillings don't fall apart?

The key is to use a large, warm, and pliable tortilla and to not overfill it . Lay your fillings in the center. First, fold in the two sides of the tortilla over the edges of the filling. Then, while holding the sides in, take the bottom of the tortilla and pull it up and snugly over the filling. Finally, continue to roll it up tightly .

Q2: How do I make these burritos for meal prep so they don't get soggy?

The secret is to let all your cooked fillings cool completely before you assemble your burritos for freezing. It is also a good idea to leave out any very wet or fresh ingredients (like the salsa or the fresh lettuce) from the inside of the burritos that you plan to freeze.

Q3: Are these burritos spicy?

As written, this recipe has a mild to medium level of heat from the jalapeño in the guacamole and the optional fresh jalapeño slices on top. For a much milder burrito, you can simply omit the jalapeños. For a spicier burrito, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your taco seasoning or serve with your favorite hot sauce.

Q4: Can I use a different kind of bean?

Of course! While black beans are a classic choice, this burrito would also be delicious with an equal amount of pinto beans or even refried beans .

Tamari is a type of Japanese soy sauce that is traditionally made as a byproduct of miso paste. It is typically made with little to no wheat , which makes it a great gluten-free option, and it has a slightly thicker, richer, deeper, and less salty flavor than a standard Chinese-style soy sauce

Instructions

Note: This recipe assumes some components like rice, guacamole, and pickled onions are pre-made or made from separate recipes.
Prepare the Beans: In a medium bowl, stir together the black beans, lime juice, taco seasoning, olive oil, and salt. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the other components.
Cook the Peppers: Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers, a pinch of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the peppers are soft and browned in places.
Assemble the Burritos: Warm the tortillas to make them pliable.
Lay a tortilla flat and fill the center with a layer of spinach, a scoop of rice, some of the seasoned beans, the sautéed peppers, guacamole, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.
To roll, fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tuck the bottom edge over the filling and roll it closed tightly.
Serve immediately with your favorite salsa.

Notes

This recipe is a template for a delicious vegan burrito; feel free to add or substitute your favorite fillings like corn, mushrooms, or vegan cheese.
Making components like the rice, pickled onions, and guacamole ahead of time makes for a very quick and easy assembly.
Warming the tortillas before filling is a key step to prevent them from cracking when you roll them.
