10-Minute Vegan Burrito Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These 10-Minute Vegan Burrito Wraps are a quick, healthy, and delicious meal perfect for busy weeknights. Packed with creamy avocado, protein-rich black beans, and vibrant flavors, they come together effortlessly without any cooking required.

Two large burritos sit open on a white marbled surface, each wrapped in a soft, light beige tortilla with slight brown toasted spots. Inside, the bottom layer is bright green lettuce, topped with a mix of golden yellow rice and browned ground meat. Above that are finely chopped red tomatoes and purple onions, sprinkled with fresh bright green cilantro leaves. A few white creamy dollops of sauce are visible near the tomato and cilantro. In the background, a small white bowl filled with diced red tomatoes adds a splash of color. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • ½ cup frozen or canned corn, thawed or drained
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, as you prefer. Stir in the lime juice to prevent browning.
  2. Step 2: Add the rinsed black beans, corn, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold all ingredients together, keeping the beans mostly whole and distributing the filling evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Step 5: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30-45 seconds, until soft and pliable.
  6. Step 6: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon one-quarter of the filling into the center, shaping it into a rough log shape.
  7. Step 7: Fold in the top and bottom edges, then roll from the edge closest to you over the filling, tucking it snugly as you roll to seal the burrito.
  8. Step 8: Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately while warm, slicing in half if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra texture, toast rolled burritos in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Make it gluten-free by using corn or gluten-free tortillas.
  • Add cooked quinoa or brown rice to the filling for a heartier meal.
  • Omit red onion for a milder taste, especially for kids.
  • Boost protein by mixing in seasoned lentils or crumbled tofu.
  • Customize spice level by adjusting or omitting chili powder.
  • Use fresh parsley instead of cilantro if preferred.

Storage

Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep tortillas separate to prevent sogginess. Assembled burritos can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a microwave or toast in a skillet for best texture.

How to Serve

Two burritos cut in half lie on a wooden board with a white marbled texture surface in the background. Each burrito has a white, lightly toasted tortilla wrap holding layers inside: a bottom layer of green lettuce, a middle layer of cooked brown and yellow rice with bits of cooked meat, a topping of chopped red tomatoes and purple onions, and a drizzle of white sauce with fresh green cilantro leaves scattered on top and inside. In the background, a small white bowl holds additional diced tomatoes. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these burritos ahead of time for meal prep?

It’s best to prepare the filling ahead but assemble the burritos just before eating to keep tortillas from becoming soggy. Store filling and tortillas separately and combine when ready to serve.

My tortillas break when I roll them. What should I do?

Warm tortillas before rolling to make them soft and pliable. Also, avoid overfilling—leave enough space on edges for easy folding and rolling.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 (15-ounce) can of Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large ripe Avocado
  • ½ cup Frozen or Canned Corn, thawed or drained
  • ¼ cup finely chopped Red Onion
  • ¼ cup fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili Powder
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste

Wraps

  • 4 large (10-inch) Flour Tortillas (can substitute whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling Base: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, as preferred. Add freshly squeezed lime juice and stir to combine; this prevents browning and adds freshness.
  2. Combine the Core Ingredients: Add the rinsed black beans, thawed or drained corn, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the avocado mixture.
  3. Season the Mixture: Sprinkle cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the ingredients. Adjust salt carefully as you can add more later if needed.
  4. Mix Everything Together: Gently fold all ingredients with a spatula or large spoon, ensuring beans and corn remain whole and evenly distributed throughout the creamy avocado base. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, chili powder, or salt to your preference.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: (Optional but recommended) Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side or wrap stacked tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat, spoon about one-quarter of the filling into the center, shaping it into a rough log. Leave space at the top and bottom edges.
  7. Roll the Burritos: Fold the top and bottom edges over the filling, then fold the edge closest to you up and over tightly, rolling away until sealed. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the burritos warm and fresh. Optionally, slice in half diagonally for presentation or serve whole.

Notes

  • Toast burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.
  • Make the filling a day ahead, but add fresh avocado just before assembling for best texture.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas or corn tortillas (two per burrito) to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Add cooked quinoa or brown rice to the filling to bulk it up and add more fiber.
  • Avoid overfilling tortillas to prevent tearing; leave space on edges for easy rolling.
  • For kid-friendly versions, omit red onion or mash filling smoother; serve components separately to build wraps.
  • Add protein boost by mixing in seasoned lentils, crumbled tofu, or plant-based ground meat.
  • Use a tight ‘tuck’ when rolling burritos for a secure, neat wrap that won’t unravel.
