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.
Easy
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 creating recipes because it is my favorite thing to do, but I wanted to keep things simple.
Lugging my backdrop into my dining room was a chore and everything took me four times as long, so easy recipes were all I wanted to do.
Not to mention, looking back at the Top 10 Recipes of 2017, many of them were pretty easy. I remember when I was working as an elementary school teacher I would come home exhausted.
The last thing that I wanted to do was spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I can understand why so many people gravitate towards easy recipes.
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. I actually didn’t use my recipe because I was gifted with one, so I used that.
Customizable
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, than 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.

Influenced By Our Surroundings
I don’t know if you’ve ever thought about it, but I do since I’m such a foodie. Ever since moving to Tucson about 18 years ago, my cooking has been influenced by my surroundings.
I didn’t cook as much back then, but even if I hadn’t moved to Tucson I don’t think I would be cooking as much Mexican inspired cuisine as I do now.
There’s no way I would have a recipe like Vegan Green Corn Tamales, since I learned how to make them from my husband who’s made them for over forty years.
It’s interesting to think about.

Tips For Rolling A Burrito
- 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. The filling should cover half 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.

- 1/4 to 1/2 of an avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sugar Free Pickled Peppers and Onions or sliced jalapeños
Instructions
-
Heat tortilla over gas stovetop or in a pan without oil if you have an electric range. Be careful not to burn them.
-

Fold over sides of tortilla and roll away from you making a tight burrito. If you fill the tortilla with too much, it will be harder to roll.

Hi Willow –
I just found your site today so you’ll have to excuse me if the answer to my question is obvious or has been discussed previously on your blog. These burritos look so yummy but I, too, am gluten intolerant – not to a point of 100% avoidance but I do feel much better overall and my sinuses like me much better when I avoid it – so I am curious which brand of tortilla is used for this recipe. In my area, I am able to find several brands of GF tortillas but I don’t think I’ve ever seen any spinach or kale ones.
Thank you,
Pam

Hi Pam, the spinach amaranth tortillas are from my local Farmer’s Market. I wish there were more options at the grocery store! The only ones I’ve found at the grocery store that are both vegan and gluten free are brown rice ones.
