1. Start by frying ½ brown onion and ½ carrot (both finely diced) with 1 tbsp minced garlic. Continuously stir on a medium heat until soft and golden.

2. Add 50g/1.8oz black beans, 50g/1.8oz kidney beans, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp vegetable stock powder and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Continue stirring through for another 5 minutes. Once all ingredients are soft, use a fork to slightly mash the mix together.

3. Allow to cool slightly whilst you make the guacamole. In a small bowl, mash the flesh from ½ an avocado and mix it with the juice from ½ a lime, 3 tbsp soy milk and salt and pepper to taste.

4. Place down 1 large tortilla. Smear the guacamole vertically down the tortilla. Spoon the bean mixture out evenly, on top of the guacamole. Add ½ cup of shredded lettuce, 3 cherry tomatoes and a handful of corn chips.

5. Roll up into a burrito (watch our video for a guide!) and place in a frypan on a high heat. Fry on each side for 2 minutes (or until golden brown). Remove from heat and enjoy!

*tips – you can use 100g of any beans available.
Double the guacamole ingredients if you want to use it as a dip as well!

Protein + Magnesium + Fibre
We suggest using black beans and kidney beans in this recipe as they are full of health benefits! Black beans are a great source of protein, providing around 15g per cup. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, and because these processes are amplified following exercise, adding more protein to your post workout meal can help to improve your rate of recovery and build more muscular strength. Along with protein, black beans are also packed with a good dose of magnesium, an essential micronutrient which helps energy production, protein synthesis, muscle contraction and nerve signalling in the body. Magnesium is not only important during exercise but just like protein, it helps with recovery. If you have ever suffered from restlessness, cramping, poor sleep, or high stress (mentally or physically) following a workout, magnesium can help ease all these symptoms while also increasing the production of serotonin which is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of wellbeing, and happiness.

As an added bonus, kidney beans are packed full of fibre which is essential for a healthy digestive system. A strong and healthy digestive tract helps us fight bad bacteria, remove toxins, and absorb essential macro and micro nutrients that are the building blocks of our body. This is a burger with some serious benefits!
