🍽️ 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.

- 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.
