Ingredients

For the Burritos:

  • 4 sprouted grain tortillas (thawed; recommend Food for Life brand)
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 cups diced Yukon gold or red potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (or any color)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or reduced-sodium soy sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or arugula
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Optional Sauces:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spread the diced potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until tender.

2. Sauté the Vegetables:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • Add the chopped bell pepper and minced garlic, cooking for another 3 minutes.

3. Season the Mixture:

  • Stir in ground cumin and chili powder, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to release the spices’ aromas.

4. Add Beans and Flavorings:

  • Stir in the black beans and coconut aminos. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Mix in spinach and cilantro, cover the skillet, and remove from heat to allow spinach to wilt.

5. Combine with Potatoes:

  • Add the baked potatoes to the skillet mixture, stir in lime juice. Optionally, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.

6. Warm the Tortillas:

  • Place the tortillas on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 30-45 seconds to soften.

7. Assemble the Burritos:

  • Place about 1 cup of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Add your choice of sauce or toppings.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the contents.

8. Serve or Store:

  • Serve immediately, or wrap each burrito in parchment paper. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
