Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by cooking your brown rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and half of the chopped green onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  3. Add minced garlic, ground cumin, chipotle chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked brown rice, sautéed vegetables, rinsed black beans, cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix gently until well combined.
  5. Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the filling onto the center, top with feta cheese and avocado. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  6. If desired, spray the skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with salsa, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and lime wedges on the side.

Notes
