INSTRUCTIONS

   • Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
2. Assemble the Burritos:
   • Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
   • Spoon a generous portion of the filling onto each tortilla, placing it slightly off-center.
   • Top with a few slices of avocado.
3. Fold the Burritos:
   • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling.
   • Start rolling from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
   • Continue rolling until you have a tight burrito.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the vegan burritos warm with salsa, guacamole, or vegan sour cream on the side.
   • Optionally, you can lightly toast the assembled burritos in a skillet for a crispy exterior before serving.
