1/3 cup quinoa
54g
3 cups black beans
520g
1 tbsp ground cumin

Instructions:

1. Cook the Quinoa:
- In a small saucepan, add the rinsed quinoa and 2/3 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the diced zucchini and red pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Add the Remaining Ingredients:
- Stir in the sweet corn and diced green tomato. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Add the cooked black beans, cooked quinoa, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the spices.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.
4. Assemble the Burritos:
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the black bean and quinoa mixture into the center.
- Sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves and shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling.
- If desired, add a few thin slices of jalapeno pepper for an extra kick.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito.
5. Serve:
- Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil to keep warm.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious black bean quinoa burritos!

Tips:

- Ensure the quinoa is cooked thoroughly and fluff it with a fork before mixing with other ingredients for the best texture.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add extra jalapeno peppers or a splash of hot sauce to the mixture.

- To save time, you can use canned black beans and frozen sweet corn. Just make sure to drain and rinse the beans well.

- Feel free to add or substitute other veggies, such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers, to suit your taste.

- For a vegan version, simply omit the mozzarella cheese or replace it with your favorite plant-based cheese.

- Warm the tortillas before assembling the burritos to make them easier to roll and prevent them from cracking.

- Serve your burritos with a side of guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for an extra burst of flavor.
