This delicious and filling vegetarian burrito is packed with protein and healthy fiber. Its base is a mixture of cooked rice, black beans (or kidneys), and tofu pieces, fried with a fragrant sazon seasoning. You can cook the rice filling ahead of time and then mix it with the tofu before serving to assemble the burrito. The burrito also includes shredded zesty pepper jack cheese, fresh romaine lettuce, and a fresh pico de gallo salsa made with chopped tomatoes, onions, and chilies in a lime dressing. It's incredibly juicy. Microwave the finished burritos and serve with hot sauce and sour cream for dipping.
