Ingredient Notes
Canned Black Beans: Canned black beans make this recipe so quick and easy! I love to keep them on hand for this recipe and to make my Refried Black Beans.
Cauliflower Rice: You can either make your own cauliflower rice or buy it already riced. To make it, just blend cauliflower florets in a food processor!
Buffalo Sauce: I like to use Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce, but any buffalo sauce will work.
Tortillas: I like to use 10-inch flour tortillas for these Black Bean Burritos! Or, you can use smaller tortillas like my Vegan Homemade Tortillas and make this recipe in to tacos.
Guacamole: I used my 4 Ingredient Guacamole Recipe, but store-bought is great, too!
Additional Toppings: Add any additional toppings to these burritos that you like! Fresh cilantro, pico de gallo or dairy-free sour cream would all be delicious additions.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1. First, combine black beans, garlic powder and onion powder in a small saucepan.
Step 2. Simmer the beans on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice.
Step 4. Then, cook the cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown in some places, about 10 minutes.
Step 5. Next, add the buffalo sauce and stir. Then, continue cooking until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Step 6. Lay a large flour tortilla on a work surface. Now, top the tortilla with buffalo cauliflower rice, black beans and guacamole an any additional toppings you'd like. Then, roll the burrito up and eat!
Recipe FAQs
Store the black beans and cauliflower rice separately in airtight containers. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
When you want a burrito, warm the beans and rice in the microwave and roll them up into a burrito.
Black beans and pinto beans are my top two bean options for burritos.
No! The liquid in the can is just the liquid they were cooked in. It's thick because it has starch from the beans in it.
10-inch flour tortillas are best. Anything smaller than that will be hard to roll up.
Expert Recipe Tips
Be sure to only partially drain the can of beans and definitely don't rinse them!
You need a little bit of the liquid to simmer the black beans in, but I find not draining them at all leaves you with too much liquid.
