This plant-based burrito with riced cauliflower, brown rice, and refried beans uses my Vegan Chili Cheese Sauce in the mix and on top. It is vegan and dairy free. You can use a gluten-free tortilla to make it gluten-free compliant as well.

Ingredients

1 recipe vegan chili cheese sauce make ahead
1/2 cup vegetable broth more to keep pan from sticking
12 ounces riced cauliflower/veggie mix
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 package taco seasoning
1 15.5 ounce can refried beans use lard free/vegan
8 8' tortillas

Instructions

Make Vegan Chili Cheese Sauce and set aside. You will be using 1/2 cup in the filling and topping with the remaining.
Pre heat oven to 375 fahrenheit.
Prepare a 9x13 pan by lightly spraying with coconut cooking spray or cooking spray of your choice.
Line a non-stick large sauce pan with vegetable broth. You may need to use more to prevent vegetable/rice mixture from sticking.
Add riced cauliflower and pre-made brown rice to pan along with taco seasoning mix. Stir until vegetables are softened and heated through. 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup Vegan Chili Cheese Sauce. Remove from heat.
Working with one burrito at a time, spread about 2 Tablespoons refried beans down the center of an 8" tortilla. Top with about 1/2 cup cauliflower/rice mixture.
Begin by folding two sides in and then rolling and tucking until you have a burrito. Set in prepared 9x13 pan. Continue until all burritos have been rolled and are in the pan.
You can OPTIONALLY spray with a little cooking oil on top. This is not necessary but will help them crisp up in the oven. Cook in a 375° oven for 25 minutes until heated through. Serve with Vegan Chili Cheese Sauce. You may also top with guacamole and salsa.
If using this recipe for meal prep, put each burrito in a separate container and top with Vegan Chili Cheese Sauce. When ready, heat and eat. If you are using guacamole or salsa, wait until heated and right ready to eat before putting on top. You can buy little guacamole containers to slip into your lunchbox.

Notes

Safety first! The Chili Cheese Sauce contains nuts. You must disclose this fact to anyone you are serving in case there is an allergy. This is especially important as one wouldn't expect burritos to contain nuts.
