Remember the original vegan burrito recipe I shared about a year ago? (When I was using my iPhone 5 for all of my photography? Cringe!) I’ve been revisiting some of my old recipes recently, and I decided to give my black bean burrito recipe a makeover!

This new and improved vegan black bean and sweet potato burrito recipe is positively bursting with tasty fillings: the cauliflower walnut taco meat, avocado tomato salsa, spicy black beans and sweet potatoes, and salsa verde. You can even add more fillings, such as rice, cashew sour cream, and cheese, if you so desire!

recipe features

  • High in protein: Black beans are a fabulous source of protein, and combined with the walnuts in the taco meat and the tortilla, these burritos are packed with protein.
  • Big batch: This recipe makes enough for 6 good-sized servings, with the potential for leftovers depending on how stuffed you like your burritos.
  • Versatile: If you’re not into burritos, or you don’t have any tortillas on hand, just enjoy all of the tasty fillings in a bowl with some rice to round out the meal.
