# What you'll need:
→ Base
01 - 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
02 - 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
03 - 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
04 - 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
→ Vegetables
05 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1 small onion, diced
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Cheese & Extras
08 - 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
09 - ¾ cup salsa (mild or medium)
→ Spices
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
11 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
13 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
14 - ½ teaspoon salt
15 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
# Method:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and red bell pepper; cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
02 - Add black beans, thawed corn, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until warmed through. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave, covered with a damp towel, to increase pliability.
04 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread ¼ cup cooked rice in the center. Top with ⅓ cup of the bean and vegetable mixture, 2 tablespoons salsa, and 2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Fold the sides over and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
05 - Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper. Place wrapped burritos into labeled freezer bags before storing in the freezer.
06 - To reheat, unwrap and microwave on a plate for 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway through, or bake wrapped in foil at 350°F (180°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until thoroughly heated.
