Why This Vegan Burrito Deserves a Spot in Your Weekly Lineup

You just can’t go wrong with a plant-based burrito that’s hefty and full of delicious flavors. This recipe is perfect for those who love easy prep and bold flavors. The colorful sautéed peppers add subtle means and color to the meal. Seasoned black beans and brown rice make a satisfying and filling base, high in protein, which keeps me full for hours.

The burrito is highly customizable, and that is one of the best things about it. At times, I'll throw in jalapeños to make it spicy, or sometimes corn for sweetness. The avocado and salsa just add everything to make it a meal.

What I love about this burrito:

  • It’s totally meal-prep friendly, so you can wrap up a couple for lunch all week.
  • Perfect for using up whatever vegetables you have hanging out in the fridge.
  • Abig squeeze of lime, plus fresh cilantro, wakes up all the flavors.

If you’re looking for an easy, fast, and healthy way to fuel your day, this vegan burrito is a clear winner. Trust me—after one bite, you’ll want these in regular rotation.
