White Bean and Avocado Baked Burritos
And if there wasn’t enough avocado stuffed inside these Baked Burritos, I smothered them with my Creamy Zesty Avocado Lime Dressing. If you are using the dressing on top (which I’d definitively recommend), make sure to add a couple extra tablespoons of water to the dressing so you can easily pour it over freshly baked burritos straight out of the oven.
This recipe is a bit more involved than let’s say my typical dinner recipes (you know how I love my One Pot Meals) but the results are worth it. This recipe makes 12 baked burritos. You could half the recipe to make less but I love making enough so we have some leftovers as well for during the week. I love making these Baked Burritos on a Sunday and enjoying the leftovers for lunch

Directions
- Preheat: Oven to 350F/180C. Lightly spray two casserole dishes (9x13 and 8x8 - or whatever large casserole dishes you have on hand) with a bit of oil (so the burritos don't stick to the pan when baking) OR line the casserole dishes with parchment paper.
- Rice: Prepare the rice while making the burrito filling. Boil and simmer the brown rice and vegetable bouillon in water 1¾ cup water (you might need to use a bit more or less water depending on the brown rice you use).
- Burrito Filling: In a large pot, over medium-high heat, saute the garlic and onions with cumin in a couple splashes of vegetable broth for a couple of minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and peppers (seeds in the jalapenos if you like it spicy!). Saute for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms and peppers are lightly cooked. Add splashes of vegetable broth when necessary so the vegetables don't stick to the pan.
- Add the fresh cilantro and white beans. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and nutritional yeast. Add sea salt and pepper to taste.
