This healthy burrito recipe is not only filling, but it’s also vegan! Filled with peppers, onions, chickpeas, seasoning and quinoa rice.
I am burrito OBSESSED! This healthy burrito recipe is super easy to whip up and it’s great for the whole family. I love making a huge batch of quinoa rice once a week and then we use it to pair with dinner, in omelets, wraps, and burritos!
You could easily stuff more into this burrito recipe, but we like to keep it simple and clean. A wrap, some veggies, quinoa rice, and then our vegan protein of choice, chickpeas. When you’re cooking we highly recommend that you use coconut oil. It’s a great way to cook your food and it’s vegan too!
There’s refined and virgin coconut oil. If you don’t like the taste of coconut we suggest you go for the refined. For cooking I always use refined, whereas for our raw food, healthy and beauty like on our skin we’ll use virgin. I even use coconut oil to keep our cutting boards nice and conditioned too. Many people actually use mineral oil to condition their cutting boards but we love using coconut oil on cutting boards. It doesn’t go rancid and we prefer it over the other options.
There has been a lot of talk about if coconut oil is really healthy and that is something you’ll have to choose on your own. We feel better using coconut oil over other oils so that is what we use for our family.
I’m a huge fan of chickpeas and could eat them every day. My husband is super picky and actually hates chickpeas, but loves them in this recipe!
Even my mini chef loves this healthy burrito recipe. It’s good cold or hot. We usually make a big batch and roll them up and save for lunches. We make them and save for 2-3 days. They don’t last too long in this house because they’re sooo good! My husband loves the ease of just taking it to work and having it for lunch.
Optional add-ins my husband likes are tomatoes and lettuce.
