Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Microwave Safe Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Aluminum Foil

Ingredients

  • 1 green pepper sliced thin
  • 1 red pepper sliced thin
  • ½ onion sliced thin
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 cups refried beans
  • 6 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook peppers and onion in one Tablespoon olive oil until browned and soft (about 10 minutes).
  • While the peppers and onions are cooking, heat refried beans in the microwave so they’re easy to spread.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Top each tortilla with an equal portion of beans, rice, peppers, onions, salsa, and shredded cheese.
  • Tuck in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up and place seam-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil, then bake for 15 minutes or until they start to turn light golden brown.

Notes

  • To store, let burritos cool completely. Wrap in foil, or place in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 30 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
