Veggie, Rice & Bean Burrito w/ Chickpea Tortilla

I've never made a burrito before but it turned out to be crazy easy. Just cook the veggies, throw in rice, beans, spices and salsa (and a few other things). I made about 8 of these and have 7 left waiting in the freezer for convenient consumption. The wrap is made out of just chickpea flour, like a super thin socca. Delish :)

Atop a salad

























1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 zuchini, chopped
1-2 tbsp oil (for frying)
2 cups brown rice
2 cans pinto beans (or 1 large can)
6 tsp chili powder (my chili powder is not very strong)
4 tsp cumin
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 cup salsa
3 cloves garlic
Handful of cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chili fakes (extra heat)
Dash liquid smoke


Chickpea wraps:
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
Salt, to taste


Cook onion, red pepper, zucchini, and garlic in a frying pan with oil. Once veggies are cooked through add salsa, beans, rice, spices and nutritional yeast. Cook for a minute or 2. Add in rest of ingredients.
To make chickpea wraps: Mix ingredients for batter, heat an oiled pan on medium, spoon mixture onto pan and swirl batter around as if making a crepe. Flip over to cook other side. Leave wraps to cool, and assemble burritos. Makes 7-8 burritos.
To reheat, place burrito in toaster oven and bake on 350 until heated through.

  7. I'm so excited to try the chickpea wraps -- what a great idea! I've been looking for a simple wheat-free/corn-free tortilla recipe, and this looks like it could be the one. Thanks!

  9. I made these for lunch and they were fabulous! Very tasty and the chickpea burrito wraps worked well. I hate the store-bought rice flour burrito shells and am excited to find an alternative! Question for you- how big did you make the shells? I ended up with only about 4 burrito size shells (about 8 inches in diameter). I think I had the right thickness but wanted to double check. Thanks for a great recipe! I am looking forward to making more and freezing them!

  13. Ok, I made this tonight! Super yummy! It only made 4 very thin ones for us, so next time I might double or even triple the batter and make them a little thicker since my 3 year olds fell apart when she tried to eat it. I LOVE the tortillas and want to make other recipes with this! So delish. Thanks for a great post!
