Instructions

- 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.
