Ingredient Notes

Oil – I used olive oil to saute the onions and garlic for the rice. Substitute it with water or vegetable broth for an oil-free recipe.
Rice – You can use any kind of white or brown rice in this recipe. Cook according to package instructions.
Black beans – You can use drained and well-rinsed canned black beans or homemade black beans.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1. Saute the onions and garlic in a saucepan for 5-6 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 2. Add the broth, tomato and rice, cover and lightly simmer for 10-15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3. Add all of the ingredients for the chili lime black beans to a skillet or saucepan and cook over medium heat until heated through. I like to mash the beans up a bit with the back of a wooden spoon.

Filling Suggestions

avocado or guacamole
vegan cheese
vegan sour cream
avocado cilantro sauce
chimichurri sauce
cashew chipotle sauce or queso sauce
shredded carrot
vegan spicy mayo
shredded lettuce or cabbage
salsa
sofritas
sesame slaw
cabbage slaw
cilantro cashew crema
tofu crema

Quick Tip: Make a quick sour cream by adding a spritz of lemon juice to plain coconut yogurt.

Notes

These Instant Pot refried black beans make a yummy swap for the chili lime black beans.
Don’t feel like a burrito? Toss everything on a bed of romaine lettuce to make a burrito bowl.
For a quick and easy burrito, use plain white or brown rice, plain black beans, and your favourite fillings.
