Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 cup fresh salsa (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Vegetable Burrito with Salsa

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
  2. Add the corn and black beans to the skillet. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the halved cherry tomatoes and half of the cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt slightly.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable. This will make rolling easier.
  5. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Top with the remaining cherry tomatoes and cheddar cheese.
  6. Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to encase the filling. Place the burritos seam-side down on a plate.
  7. Serve immediately with fresh salsa on the side and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the tortillas are warm for easier rolling.
  • Feel free to add your favorite spices for an extra kick.
  • Let the filling cool slightly before assembling to avoid soggy tortillas.
  • For a crispy burrito, sear the rolled burritos in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Easy Variations

  • Swap black beans for pinto or kidney beans for a different flavor.
  • Add cooked chicken or tofu for extra protein.
  • Incorporate other veggies like zucchini or spinach for added nutrition.
  • Use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicy twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of guacamole for dipping.
  • Lightly seasoned Mexican rice.
  • A fresh green salad with a lime vinaigrette.
  • Tortilla chips for that extra crunch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or heat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
