  - Corn provides a good dose of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and potassium. It supports eye health, immune function, and heart health.

-**Wholesome Brown Rice:**

-Brown rice adds a hearty and nutritious component to the burrito wraps, offering fiber, complex carbohydrates, and essential vitamins and minerals for sustained energy and overall health

- **Heart-Healthy Avocado:**
  - Avocado is loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It also provides fiber, potassium, and vitamins E and K.

- **Vibrant Veggies for Vitality:**
  - Lettuce, tomatoes, and onions add a burst of color and nutrients to the burrito wraps. They're rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration, supporting overall health and vitality.

**Ingredients:**                     (**No Cook Time Required:**) (Note- only if rice is precooked for prepared before hand😬)

- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

-1 cup of cooked brown rice (or rice of your choice)

- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

- 4 large flour tortillas

- 1 ripe avocado, sliced

- 1 cup shredded lettuce

- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

- 1/4 cup diced red onion

- Fresh cilantro for garnish

- Lime wedges for serving

- Optional toppings: salsa, vegan sour cream, hot sauce

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Black Bean and Corn Mixture:**
   - In a mixing bowl, combine black beans, corn kernels, and taco seasoning. Stir well to evenly coat the beans and corn with the seasoning.

2. **Assemble the Burrito Wraps:**
   - Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Apply a layer of brown rice (or rice of your choice) to the center of each tortilla, then spoon the black bean and corn mixture on top of the layer of rice, spreading it out evenly.

3. **Add Fresh Ingredients:**
   - Top each tortilla with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced red onion. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the filling for an extra burst of flavor.

4. **Roll 'Em Up:**
   - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll them up tightly to form burrito wraps.

5. **Optional Browning (1 Minute):**
   - If desired, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito wrap in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds a delicious crispy texture to the wraps.

6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
   - Slice the burrito wraps in half diagonally and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the savory goodness with your favorite toppings of choice such as salsa, vegan sour cream or hot sauce.
