Steps

Step 1: Make Burrito Fixings and Serve

Make Burrito Fixings and Serve
  • 1⁄3 yellow onion diced (≈1⁄3 cup)
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 1⁄4 teaspoons mild chili powder
  • 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 dashes ground turmeric
  • 2 dashes cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 7 1⁄2 oz frozen corn (≈1 1⁄2 cups)
  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • sea salt
  • 6 whole-grain tortillas
  • 3 oz shredded lettuce (≈3 cups)
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 3/4 avocado (optional) diced
  • hot sauce (optional)

Method

SAUTÉ ONIONS
In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onions in vegetable broth, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne (if using), and sauté for 1 minute more.

ADD PINTO BEANS & CORN
Add pinto beans and corn to saucepan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in nutritional yeast (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

HEAT TORTILLAS
In a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm tortillas one at a time until soft and pliable, about 20 seconds on each side. Cover with a damp cloth to keep soft until serving.

ASSEMBLE & SERVE
Place about ¾ cup of bean filling in the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce, salsa, and a couple slices of avocado (if using).

Fold sides of tortilla over filling, then roll up to enclose. Serve burritos warm, with hot sauce, if desired.
