Vegan Butternut Squash and White Bean Burrito without rice
I go through phases with food and lately I have been obsessed with butternut squash. I love the flavor of it and it is packed with skin healthy vitamins. My latest creation is this vegan butternut squash and white bean burrito without rice.
This burrito is crispy - which I believe is the only way a burrito should be eaten. The burrito filling is made on the stove, and then the burrito is crisped up in the oven. Since this is a one pan meal - this recipe requires minimal cleanup. All together it takes about 40 minutes to make, but if you want to cut down on time you could prep the filling ahead of time. It is a great meal prep meal because it makes a few servings. This recipe is a healthy plant based dinner that makes a healthy plant based lunch the next day.
This vegan burrito recipe is nutrition packed. Beans add fiber and protein, and when combined with whole wheat tortillas this makes this a complete protein. Butternut squash adds fiber and vitamins C, magnesium and B. Vegan yogurt adds healthy fats and probiotics to this recipe which pairs well with the fiber. All of the ingredients make this a very healthy vegan burrito recipe.
Give this vegan butternut squash burrito, it is the perfect healthy plant based dinner or lunch. If you do try this recipe, please leave me a rating and review on this blog post. Also, tag me on Instagram so I can repost you.
What you need for this recipe:
- Scallions

- Italian seasoning blend
- Lemon

Storage Instructions:
You can store the extra filling and burritos in the fridge. I recommend only making as many burritos as you are going to eat at that time and storing the extra filling in the fridge. Then the filling is ready to go the next day when you want to make another burrito. However, you can make all the burritos at once as well if you would like.
