As I have mentioned in several posts, I like spicy food. So this vegan burrito plate is just my cup of tea. You can never go wrong with a burrito. I think it’s the comfort of the food that makes is so special. This one is similar to the popular burrito bowls; it’s just served on a flat plate.

I use wild black rice for this recipe. It gives the dish an extra “nutty” flavour as well as some great texture. Wild black rice is not technically rice but an aquatic grass so it’s naturally gluten-free, making the dish suitable for almost everyone. It takes a little bit longer to cook black rice compared to white rice, but the wait is well worth it.

Black rice packs more protein per serving than both brown and red rice. It’s also high in fibre and antioxidants making it the most nutrient dense of the rice types.
