    Vegan Burrito

    A vegan burrito that is filling, hearty, flavorful and every kind of delicious! Stuffed with black beans and corn, rice, vegan sour cream & guacamole.

    Is anything more delicious than a vegan burrito? Not many things I tell you!

    These delicious black bean and corn vegan burritos are everything. They have so much flavor and texture going on, it’s just like happiness in your mouth (and tummy).

    When we lived in Dubai there was a burrito shop right near the skate park and Jaye is big into skateboarding.

    I’m not really big into watching because I fear (and I mean really fear) for the guy’s life! It’s not good for the nerves. But I could usually be persuaded to go anyway if he said the magic words: ‘we can get some burritos after!’

    That’s how much I love a good vegan burrito. And these homemade ones are just as good.

    And if you love Mexican-inspired food then try our vegan quesadillas and vegan tacos too.

    How To Make A Vegan Burrito

    You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

    Now I’ll be honest, it’s not the fastest thing you’ve ever made. There are a few elements involved, you don’t have to do everything, but the more elements you add, the more delicious your burritos will be!

    It’s ideal if you can get someone else involved to help with the prep. There’s nothing difficult that has to happen here, but just a few moving parts.

    You make some vegan sour cream, shred some lettuce, make a pico de gallo salsa, cook some rice and then mix the cooked rice with some chopped sundried tomatoes, a little fresh lime juice and some salt and pepper, make your black bean and corn mix and your guacamole.

    Like I said, you don’t have to do everything, if there is something you’ve bought ready-made or something you can’t really be bothered to make, you can leave it off! But the real delighting your tastebuds comes from the full monty here.

    So if you can split these tasks up between a couple of people, put some music on and pour some wine, you can have a fun time of it.

    Even if there is just one of you doing all of it, you can get it all done in around an hour. But it’ll be more fun if you can get a buddy on board.

    How To Roll A Burrito

    You want to place the filling in the center of the tortilla and then fold in the sides and then roll it up!

    A picture is worth a thousand words though so I did find this 23 second video on youtube that is really just a super simple way to demonstrate how to do it. I don’t think this is a vegan burrito that they’re rolling, but we’ll just pretend that’s vegan cheese on it. 

    Assembling a vegan burrito.

    This next video is a bit longer (but only 1 minute) and has some extra tips on getting the perfect rolling technique for rolling your burrito and I think this one IS a vegan burrito – yay! So watch that one as well and you’ll be all set.

    Vegan Burritos Q&A

    Can you make these vegan burritos gluten-free?

    Yes! You can use a gluten-free tortilla for the wraps if you prefer. Everything else in this recipe is already naturally gluten-free.

    How to store vegan burritos?

    You can make up more burritos than you’ll eat right away and keep the remaining burritos in the fridge and have them the next day.

    Usually I would say guacamole is not a great thing to keep overnight, but wrapped up in a burrito that is then wrapped up in foil and kept in the fridge overnight, it lasts just fine. We did this and had leftover burritos for lunch the next day and they held up perfectly in the fridge overnight. I wouldn’t keep them for longer than that though.

    Can you freeze them?

    Hmmm, if you want to freeze these, then don’t add in super fresh ingredients like shredded lettuce and pico de gallo as those don’t freeze well. You could use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce if you wanted to as that does freeze well. Wrap them in foil before freezing and then place into an airtight container or freezer bag.

    When you’re ready to eat them let them thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and then reheat in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes until warmed through.

    This Makes A Big Batch

    This does make a big batch of burritos, 8 large vegan burritos. So either make this when you have enough people who will eat them over a day or two at the most, or scale the recipe down.

    Add Vegan Taco Meat

    And oh my I almost forgot, another thing that would be awesome in these vegan burritos is some vegan taco meat (oh man that stuff is good!). So if you’re inspired to make these even more ‘fully loaded’ then adding some vegan taco meat to these is an awesome plan.

    Instructions

    • Prepare your black beans and corn mix. Add the chopped onion and olive oil to a frying pan along with the cayenne pepper, dried chili flakes and cumin and sauté until the onions are softened.
    • Add in the black beans and sweet corn along with the water and stir fry until most of the water has cooked off. Add salt and pepper to taste. Leave to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
    • Prepare your sundried tomato basmati rice. Add the cooked rice to a bowl and then add in the chopped sundried tomatoes and lime juice and toss until well mixed in. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
    • Prepare the salsa and sour cream. Prepare the pico de gallo salsa and vegan sour cream as per linked recipes and set aside.
    • Prepare the guacamole. Add peeled and chopped avocados to a bowl and mash with a fork. Add in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
    • Prepare your tortillas. Warm your tortillas in the oven (follow package directions) for around 10 minutes wrapped in foil.
    • Assemble. Lie a tortilla down flat on a plate. Add some sundried tomato basmati rice to the center of the tortilla, followed by some black bean and corn mix, followed by some shredded lettuce. Then add some pico de gallo then some vegan sour cream and top with guacamole. Fold in the sides and then roll it up and wrap in foil. Continue with the next tortilla.
    • Serve. Cut the burritos in half and serve.

    Notes

    1. We used basmati rice but brown rice would also work great here. Basmati is really quick to cook so that made our decision for us! Add 1 cup of uncooked basmati rice (200g) plus 1 and ½ cups of water to a pot, bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the water has been absorbed. This equals almost exactly 3 cups of cooked basmati rice.
    2. Nutritional information is for 1 burrito (of 8) with an even share of everything in it, rice, beans and corn, lettuce, pico de gallo, vegan sour cream and guacamole.

      Do you think I could freeze those? If so – any tips? I want to prepare various vegan freezer meals for my friend before she gives birth. She’s not vegan but leaning a bit towards it and very open and happy to have ready homemade food once the baby is here. Maybe we’ll turn her who knows.

        What a great thing to do for your friend! There are freezer instructions under the Q&A section. They can be frozen with a little adjustment. 🙂

      We have been trying out some vegan recipes for the last 2 weeks. I usually have an aversion to corn and rice in a burrito but decided to try it anyway. We LOVED these! I can’t wait for tomorrow so I can have another one.5 stars

      Our 15 yr old daughter (who has always been a picky eater but also a huge carnivore) just informed us she no longer likes meat of any kind. She asked if she could find some recipes. This vegan burrito is one of the recipes she found. The rest of us won’t be eating like her every night but will be 1-3 nights a week depending on what everyone wants to eat. But we all decided we’d give this one a try. Our little family of 4…with 3 of us being huge meat lovers…absolutely loved this. My daughter asked for the rice, the black bean/corn mixture, the pico de gallo, guacamole and the vegan sour cream. We are all raving over this and will definitely put onto our list of dinner choices to pull from when we plan our weekly menu.

      The flavors exploded in my mouth. This is so good, I use parmesan cheese instead of yeast, and used collard greens instead of tortillas was so yummy ????

      Very nice! I recommend it for students. Is easy to make and you can be efficient by making 5-6 of them at once and then having them as a snack for 3 days straight.5 stars
