🛒 Ingredients

  • fresh mushrooms
  • large tortilla (wrap)
  • cooked brown rice
  • black beans
  • salsa
  • avocado slices
  • lime juice
  • salt & pepper

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

  1. Sauté sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt until golden and tender.
  2. In a bowl, combine cooked rice, black beans, and the sautéed mushrooms.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat, spread a thin layer of salsa, then add the rice‑bean‑mushroom mixture.
  4. Top with avocado slices, a squeeze of lime juice, and a dash of pepper.
  5. Fold the tortilla into a burrito, grill lightly if desired, and serve.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Plate the burrito on a rustic wooden board, drizzle a little extra salsa over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a vibrant, Instagram‑ready presentation.
  • Serve alongside a crisp mixed greens salad tossed in a light citrus vinaigrette, letting the bright greens balance the rich, earthy filling.
  • Pair with a chilled glass of sparkling water infused with cucumber and mint, or a light, citrusy mocktail to refresh the palate between bites.

💡 Chef's Tips & Variations

  • Swap brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice to boost protein or keep it low‑carb, and add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky depth.
  • Turn up the heat by mixing in a spoonful of chipotle adobo sauce or roasted jalapeños for a spicy kick that still stays plant‑based.
  • Add texture with toasted pumpkin seeds or crushed tortilla chips inside the wrap, giving each bite an unexpected crunch.
  • For a make‑ahead version, prep the rice‑bean‑mushroom mixture in advance and store in the fridge; just assemble and grill the burrito when you’re ready to eat.
