Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked brown rice or cilantro-lime rice (Use either cooked brown rice or cilantro-lime rice.)
• 1 cup cooked black beans or kidney beans (Use either cooked black beans or kidney beans; some beans may be mashed for a creamier texture.)
• 1 cup roasted bell peppers and onions
• 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes or corn (Use either roasted sweet potatoes or roasted corn.)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp chili powder (Adjust to taste.)
• salt (To taste.)
• 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise or cashew cream (Use either vegan mayonnaise or cashew cream.)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a pan and warm the cooked rice and beans together.

2. 2

   Add the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix until the rice and beans are evenly coated.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, whisk the vegan mayonnaise or cashew cream, hot sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder until the Vegcano sauce is smooth.

4. 4

   Warm the tortillas until flexible so they do not tear during assembly.

5. 5

   Layer the warm rice-and-bean mixture, roasted bell peppers and onions, roasted sweet potatoes or corn, Vegcano sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices in each tortilla.

6. 6

   Roll each tortilla tightly and serve the burritos warm.

Notes

The source suggests mashing some beans for a creamier texture, roasting vegetables at high heat for deeper flavor, and wrapping finished burritos in foil to keep them warm longer. Variations include adding baked tofu or vegan ground for extra protein, using lettuce wraps for a low-carb version, adding jalapeños or chipotle sauce for extra heat, and using certified gluten-free tortillas. For a kid-friendly version, reduce the chili and hot sauce, use plain rice and mild beans, add sweet corn, and serve halved burritos with dipping sauce. The source does not specify roasting temperatures or times for the vegetables.
