Black Bean, Brown Rice & Sweetcorn Burritos

Ingredients

For 4 portions

Method

  1. Rice: rinse the brown rice, put it in a pan with the water and a pinch of salt, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 25โ€“30 minutes until tender and the water is absorbed. Rest, covered, for 5 minutes, then stir in the juice of half the lime and half the chopped coriander.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chopped onion and red pepper for 6โ€“8 minutes until soft.
  3. Add the cumin and smoked paprika and stir for 30 seconds, then add the drained, rinsed black beans, the drained sweetcorn, the remaining salt and 3 tablespoons of water. Cook for 4โ€“5 minutes, lightly mashing about a third of the beans so the filling holds together.
  4. Stir in the spinach for 1 minute until just wilted. Squeeze in the rest of the lime juice and add the remaining coriander.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side so they're soft and pliable.
  6. Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon a line of rice and bean filling down the middle, then add the grated cheddar, a spoonful of salsa and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt.
  7. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom. For a crisp finish, toast seam-side down in the dry pan for 1โ€“2 minutes. Cut in half and serve.
