Ingredients
- 1 cup Floating Leaf Sprouted Black Beans Organic Brown Rice Blend
- 1 cup salsa mild or medium (to taste)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound (3.5-4 cups) sweet potatoes diced
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 1 15-oz. can corn drained (or 1.5 cups frozen corn)
- 2-3 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 bunch cilantro leaves chopped
- 8 large flour tortillas whole grain
- guacamole for serving
- parchment, cling film, or aluminum for wrapping
Instructions
-
Rinse the rice blend in cold water according to instructions. Add rinsed rice to a medium saucepan along with salsa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
-
Heat oil in a large pan. Add the sweet potato dices and sauté on medium-high for a couple minutes. Stir in the onion slices. Turn heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the sweet potatoes and onion soften for about 5 minutes.
-
Uncover and stir in the taco seasoning and corn. Cover again and let cook until the sweet potatoes are completely soft. Set aside to cool.
-
When the rice is finished cooking, uncover and fluff up the rice.
-
To assemble, place about 1/3 cup of the cooked rice just below the centre of a large flour tortilla. Add a little chopped cilantro on top before adding 1/3-1/2 cup of the sweet potato mix.
-
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then start rolling it up from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
-
To prepare for freezer storage, wrap the tortillas in a moist, wrung out paper towel (optional), then in a piece of parchment paper, cling film, or aluminum.
-
Freeze the wrapped tortillas in a large container or freezer bag.
-
To reheat, place the frozen burrito on a plate. Microwave for 2 minutes, then flip and microwave for another 2 minutes.
-
Alternatively, let the frozen burritos thaw in the fridge overnight, then place on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until heated through (20-30 minutes).
