Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the corn kernels, black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice with 1/2 cup of salsa.
  5. Lay each tortilla flat and place a portion of the rice mixture in the center. Add a generous scoop of the vegetable mixture on top.
  6. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and drizzle with a bit more salsa.
  7. Gently fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
  8. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  9. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.

Helpful Tips

  • Variation: You can add some cooked quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier twist.
  • Storage: Wrap the burritos individually in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven.
  • Substitutions: Use any cheese of your choice or go dairy-free with vegan cheese. Switch up the veggies with zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach.
