    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.

    🔪 Instructions

    Open faced Vegan Refried Bean Burrito on a cutting board.
    1. 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.
    2. Spread refried beans on the tortilla.
    3. Then spread hummus on top of refried beans.
    4. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, pickled peppers and onion.
    5. Fold the sides in and tightly roll the tortilla away from you making a burrito. If you use a smaller-sized 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 the 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.

    • 2 tablespoons  Sugar Free Pickled Peppers and Onions or sliced jalapeños

    Instructions

      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.
