Vegan and Gluten-Free Burritos

- August 31, 2013 | by April -

Burrito1

When my husband and I first started dating, we were in college and it was the summertime. We ended up getting “brunch” together a lot, because we both slept in past breakfast. To my dismay, my husband ALWAYS wanted mexican food.

I probably ate mexican food for brunch three or four times a week, and I was pretty sick of it by the time he left to go back to school at The University of Alabama.

Even though I got burnt out on it, I do love me some burritos, quesadillas, chips and salsa, tacos, and guacamole. Typing all those things just caused my belly to rumble.

When I realized that I was allergic gluten, my husband and I were in a tight spot. You can get a ton of vegan foods at mexican restaurants but there’s too much cross contamination for me to eat at them safely. So, we had to start learning how to make them on our own. If you’re in a similar position, I highly recommend trying this burrito recipe! It’ll rock your vegan g-free world.

Ingredients {for two burritos}:

2 gluten-free, vegan tortillas

1 cup cooked basmati brown rice rice

1/2 onion, thinly sliced

1 green pepper, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon of EVOO

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

¼ teaspoon cayenne

handful of Daiya shredded cheddar cheese

a few dollops of Tofutti sour cream

salt and pepper for seasoning

Directions:

1. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the EVOO, and let it heat up for a few seconds. Then, add the sliced onion and green pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the veggies are soft, about ten minutes. Stir regularly.

2. While the veggies are sizzling, in a small sauce pan, add the black beans, salt, paprika, cumin and cayenne. Stir to combine and heat on medium-low until heated through, about five minutes. Stir regularly.

3. When the veggies and beans have about two minutes left, heat the tortillas on medium-high heat in a skillet for about ten seconds on each side. You just want to get them warm.

4. All you have left is to assemble your burritos. Place the tortillas on a plate. Then add the rice, beans, veggies, cheddar cheese and sour cream. Enjoy!
