Bean Burritos with Avocado Brown Rice

I found this delicious looking recipe on Pinterest for Creamy Avocado Rice from
Bran Appetit. (Beautiful blog and photos, go check it out!) The rice was amazing. I decided to kick it up a bit by adding some minced jalapeño, a little diced white onion, and a minced clove of garlic. Essentially what I ended up with was guacamole stirred into brown rice, but who cares! It was amazing. I could have sat down with a bowl of it and a spoon and been quite content.

However, setting all greediness aside (and my spoon) I needed to feed the rest of my family so I chose to add it in as a main course to some burritos with refried beans and pepper jack cheese. Because of the excessive heat we've been having this summer I decided to wrap them up in foil and warm them up on the grill. Served with a side of corn on the cob- it made for an delicious quick and easy summertime meal.
