Postpone Meatless Monday to Taco Tuesday this week with these vegetarian black bean burritos. It’s a super easy and super quick recipe that will please veggie-heads and meat-eaters alike.
The heart of this meal is a simple black bean base and creamy avocado-lime sauce. There are only 8 necessary ingredients, making this recipe perfect for your college student budget. I absolutely recommend adding in some extra classic ingredients like hummus, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese—go wild.
