How to Make a Vegan Burrito
This super easy recipe is very simple and quick to make. You only need to cook the rice in advance. Then add all the ingredients and wrap the burrito. That’s it!
Brown rice is cooked a little bit longer than white rice. But I suggest you soak the rice. In this case, the cooking process will be quicker, and the rice will be tastier. First of all, rinse and drain the rice. Then soak the rice in the water ( the approximate ratio is 1 cup of rice + 2 cups of water) for at least 1-2 hours. Then rinse and drain again. Add the rice, water, and 1 tsp of olive oil to a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, reduce it to a simmer, and cook until water is absorbed. Add all the seasonings and let the rice rest for 10 minutes.
Options
