Bursting with flavor, these bean and rice burritos offer a perfect blend of hearty refried beans, zesty cilantro-lime rice, and crunchy sautéed veggies. Great for a satisfying lunch or dinner, and extra burritos can be frozen for a quick meal later.
In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add in the brown rice, cover, and reduce heat. Let simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all liquid is absorbed.
