Tips & Notes
- •I keep my leftover cauliflower rice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—it makes for a quick meal option!
- •If you have any extra veggies lying around, throw them in! Zucchini, spinach, or even kale can add some extra nutrition.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a scoop of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
- •You could also make these burritos spicy by adding jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes!
Storage & Freezing
These burritos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them—just make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these burritos ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just store the filling separately in the fridge and assemble the burritos when you're ready to eat.
What can I use instead of black beans?
You can swap them for pinto beans, chickpeas, or even lentils if you prefer!
