This is hands down the easiest burrito ever. No cooking required, it comes together in 10 mins and is absolutely versatile. I like to keep a base of homemade hummus (I experiment with different hummus flavors each time) and the black beans filling for some extra protein and to have a complete meal or snack when I don’t want to cook.
Beans are a great protein replacement for meat, and they have many health benefits, including reducing cholesterol, decreasing blood sugar levels and increasing healthy gut bacteria (1), so don’t think that because it is a simple burrito this is not a great and nourishing meal!

Notes
- By the way … The best thing about burritos is how versatile they are, play around with the filling; you can add leftovers of rice, chickpeas, and about any other vegetable you have on hand. As soon as you can roll it you have a burrito.
