Instructions:

  1. **Prepare the Burrito Filling:**

– Heat the vegetable broth in a large skillet over medium heat.

– Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

– Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

– Stir in the corn kernels, black beans, cooked brown rice, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

– Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

– Remove from heat and squeeze the juice of one lime over the filling mixture. Stir to incorporate.

– Add the diced tomato, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well.

  1. **Warm the Tortillas:**

– Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and easy to fold. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds.

  1. **Assemble the Burritos:**

– Spread a layer of the prepared guacamole onto the center of the tortilla.

– Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve immediately with lime wedges.

### Tips

– **Make Ahead:** You can prepare the filling and guacamole ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Assemble the burritos just before serving.

– **Variations:** Feel free to add other veggies such as sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach to the filling.

– **Vegan Cheese:** For an extra cheesy flavor, add some vegan cheese shreds to the filling before rolling up the burrito.
