Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Vegan Burrito Wraps
These wraps are so easy to make. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal ready in no time!
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and prepare them for assembly. Rinse and drain the beans, chop the cilantro, and slice or mash the avocado. If you’re using leftover rice or quinoa, warm it slightly for a comforting touch.
2. Lay Out Your Tortillas
Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. To make wrapping easier, work with one tortilla at a time.
3. Layer the Fillings
Spread about 1/4 cup of black beans and 1/4 cup of rice or quinoa in the center of each tortilla.
Add a handful of spinach or greens, a few slices of avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and a dollop of vegan sour cream or yogurt, if using. Sprinkle with corn, cilantro, and a pinch of ground cumin for extra flavor.
4. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly into a burrito shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice the wraps in half if desired, and serve immediately. Pair them with extra salsa, guacamole, or a side salad for a complete meal.
Tips from Our Test Kitchen
- Warm tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave or on a skillet to make them more pliable and easier to wrap.
- Customize the fillings with anything you love, try roasted veggies, shredded carrots, or even a sprinkle of vegan cheese.
- If you’re meal-prepping, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper to keep them fresh and portable.
Variations, Leftovers, and Storage
These vegan burrito wraps are endlessly adaptable to suit your preferences or dietary needs.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or collard green wraps.
- Swap black beans for pinto beans, chickpeas, or lentils for variety.
- Add crunch with shredded cabbage or a handful of chopped bell peppers.
- Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep the ingredients separate and assemble fresh.
Nutrition Benefits of Vegan Burrito Wraps
We love how these vegan burrito wraps are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients to fuel your day. Here’s why they’re a healthy choice:
- Black beans provide plant-based protein and fiber to keep you full and support digestion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes! These wraps are perfect for meal prep. Assemble them up to 1 day in advance, wrap in foil or parchment paper, and store in the fridge. For best results, avoid adding wet ingredients like salsa until just before eating.
What can I use instead of black beans?
Feel free to swap black beans for pinto beans, kidney beans, or even chickpeas. Any cooked legume will work well in this recipe.
Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
We don’t recommend freezing fully assembled wraps, as the fresh ingredients like greens and avocado don’t freeze well. However, you can freeze the beans and rice mixture separately and assemble fresh wraps when ready to eat.
What’s a good side dish for these wraps?
Pair these wraps with a side of roasted sweet potatoes, a simple green salad, or tortilla chips with guacamole for a complete and satisfying meal.
