Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced bell peppers and red onion to the skillet. Sauté until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the corn and black beans. Season the mixture with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- While the vegetable mixture cooks, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas.
- Top each burrito with slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
- Drizzle lime juice over the filled tortillas for a fresh flavor boost.
- Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
- Serve the veggie delight burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil to keep warm until serving.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the vegetable mixture.
- You can substitute black beans with pinto beans or chickpeas for a different flavor.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or spinach for more variety.
- To make it a vegan option, omit any cheese toppings or use vegan cheese.
