Steps

Prepare Rice and Vegetables

Cook the basmati rice according to package instructions, but partially replace the water with lime juice and grated lime zest for a refreshing flavor. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion and diced red bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Make Bean Filling

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant. Then stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika, and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the rinsed and drained black beans, corn, and tomato salsa. Season with salt and pepper to taste, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble Burritos

Warm the tortillas according to package instructions (microwave, skillet, or oven) to make them more pliable. Place a portion of lime rice on each tortilla, then spoon some of the spicy bean mixture over it. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Fold in the two sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a neat, closed burrito.

Serve

Serve the freshly prepared burritos immediately. You can sprinkle them with fresh, chopped cilantro and offer extra salsa or guacamole on the side.
