This easy Vegan Refried Bean Burrito with Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus is perfect for lunch or a weeknight meal. It can be customized to suit your tastes. Make it spicy, smoky or mild by switching out the hummus.
I created this Vegan Refried Bean Burrito with Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus while I was in a wheelchair from a broken ankle. I wanted to keep things simple.
This vegan bean burrito could not be any easier. You don't even have to make the Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus that I linked. Buy one if you are short on time.
The other great thing about this healthy bean burrito is that you can customize it to your tastes. If you prefer a smoky spicy burrito, then a Chipotle Hummus might be for you.
If you don't like spicy food you could opt for an Edamame Avocado Hummus or a Roasted Red Pepper Hummus instead, or leave it out altogether.
I didn't use any in my bean burrito, but Kalamata olives would make a great addition. Any way that you make it, this simple bean burrito with vegan refried beans makes a great lunch or weeknight meal.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Flour tortilla: I used a gluten-free spinach amaranth tortilla from a local Farmer's Market. Use your favorite.
- Refried beans: You could use refried pinto beans or refried black beans.
- Hummus: I use jalapeño cilantro hummus, but you could use your favorite hummus.
- Lettuce: Adds crunch. I used Romaine lettuce. You could use kale, spinach or whatever you like.
- Tomato: Adds a sweet, fresh component. You could also use Fresh Salsa.
- Onion: Adds a sweet mild pungent flavor. I used a sweet onion. You could use red onion or green onion.
- Avocado: For creaminess. You could also use guacamole.
- Pickled peppers and onions: I used sugar free pickled peppers and onions. You could also use store-bought green chile peppers.

🔪 Instructions
- Heat a tortilla on the stovetop over the flame on low heat. If you have an electric range you can heat a tortilla in a pan without oil.
- Spread refried beans on tortilla.
- Then spread hummus on top of refried beans.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, and pickled peppers and onion.
- Fold the sides in and tightly roll the tortilla away from you making a burrito. If you use a smaller size tortilla, you'll want to use less filling because it will be harder to roll tightly.
🥡 Storage
I recommend making this refried bean burrito recipe right before serving, but it could be made the day before to eat later or for a make ahead lunch. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
The refried beans will last 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. The hummus will last 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
💭 Tips
- Warm the tortilla. Warming it makes it more pliable.
- Place fillings on tortilla below the center going horizontally and leaving room on the sides. Do not overfill the tortilla.
- Fold the sides over almost enough so they touch, but so that you can still see the filling.
- Roll the side closest to you towards the top, tucking it in tightly as you roll.
📖 Variations / Additions
- Guacamole
- Restaurant Style Salsa
- Kalamata olives or Kalamata Olive Hummus
- Vegan sour cream
- Vegan cheddar cheese
- Walnut Taco Meat or Spicy Tofu Taco Meat
- Rice
- Green or red bell pepper

How far ahead can these be made?
Willow Moon says
Since there's wet ingredients in the burrito, I would make them the day before or sooner. They really don't take long to put together. If you're making your own hummus, that takes about 5 minutes and can be made ahead of time. Otherwise the rest only takes about 5 minutes.

I made them right before serving and they were mushy. It may have been the type of tortilla I used.
I decided to fry them the next day, got the tortilla crispy and it was very good. Thanks for the recipe.
