Method

1. RICE: Make your rice first. There are several recipes you could use. Mexican rice. Cilantro rice. Or go with plain white or brown rice. If using plain rice, just be sure to season with salt and pepper and any other spices you'd like.
2. BEANS: Use canned pinto beans for ease! Drain and rinse. Pour into a small bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes until warm. I like to add the vegan cheese over top for the last thirty seconds of heating. Stovetop method could also be used.
3. GUAC: Add the avocado, along with about 2 Tbsp of the lime, juiced, to a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash. Add more salt to taste if desired. Optional guac ingredients include: minced garlic, finely chopped onion or even garlic or onion powder.
4. VEGGIES: Warm a skillet over high heat. Add the oil and veggies. Saute for 3-4 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Turn off heat and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste. Add more salt if desired.
5. TORTILLA: Warm tortilla over a gas flame for 10-20 seconds each side -- do this with caution! Other method: Warm in microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften. Your oven could also be used.
6. ASSEMBLE: Add about 3/4 cup rice, 3/4 cup of the beans, fajita veggies, mashed avocado, cilantro, cabbage or romaine, salsa to taste, and optional vegan cheese shreds. Add a squeeze of lime over top everything for extra bright flavor. Also optional: vegan sour cream.
7. Roll up tortilla into burrito shape. Slice and serve with additional salsa or hot sauce on the side. Additional guacamole could also be made.
