Audrey’s Kitchen: Roll Your Own Rainbow Burritos

0

Sometimes (OK, a lot of times) dinner can feel like a major chore. It takes too long, and then no one wants to eat what you made! This super simple recipe is quick to prepare and crowd-pleasing for picky eaters. Everyone gets to decide what is on their own burrito! These burritos are also plant-based, whole grain and dairy-free.

Ingredients Rainbow BurritoIngredients:
2 Ripe Tomatoes
1 Orange Bell Pepper
1 cup frozen organic corn, thawed
1 Ripe Avocado
1 Head of Romaine Lettuce
1 Lime, sliced into wedges
½ Purple Onion
1 Can of No Salt Added Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Fat Free Refried Beans
½ cup of your favorite salsa
1 pack Whole Wheat Tortillas

Step 1.1 Rainbow BurritoStep 1: Get to Choppin’! Dice your tomato, bell pepper, lettuce, avocado and purple onion. For the bell pepper, start by slicing off the top and bottom.  Then, slice down one side of the pepper to “unroll it” into a flat strip while removing the seeds.Step 1.2 Rainbow Burrito
