  3. Take a whole-wheat tortilla and layer it with a scoop of cooked brown rice, rinsed black beans, chopped avocados, Mexican cheese, and fresh cilantro. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the assembled burritos for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
