Filled with the dark hues of brown meat, bright green veggies and the translucent glass like look of their outer shell, they are by far one of the most beautiful burrito recipes out there. If you’re looking for a refreshing summertime burrito with the spices of Thailand, try this next recipe out.

Ingredients

10 rice paper wrappers
2 cups of rice, cooked
2 cups pulled pork carnitas, cooked
2 cups of lettuce, shredded
1 can of black beans
`1 cup of thick chunky salsa ( optional)

Directions

Begin by draining your black beans, and if you so choose, toss it in with your salsa. Add to a food processor blender and blend until it is a smooth dipping sauce. Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Next, dip your rice paper into the water as quickly as you can. This will allow for it to stick onto itself but not get soggy. Place wrapper on your rolling surface and add your ingredients. I recommend putting down the lettuce first so the rolls turn out bright green and beautiful. Warp your ingredients in the roll. Repeat the process. Serve and enjoy.
