Instructions

Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Bring some water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan, then stir in the diced tomatoes with chile peppers. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed—this usually takes about 50 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice is cooking, mix together cumin, turmeric, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and seasoned salt in a large bowl. Drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the potatoes, making sure they’re all nicely coated. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, then pop them in the oven. Bake until they’re tender when poked with a fork—this can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes depending on how big your cubes are. Don’t forget to check halfway through and give them a flip.

Step 3
As the potatoes roast, warm up a skillet over medium heat and sauté the bell pepper and onion until they soften, which should take about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for just a minute more, then take the pan off the heat. Meanwhile, heat the black beans gently in a small saucepan until they’re nice and warm, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4
Warm your tortillas in a separate pan over low heat for a minute or two, or just follow the package instructions. Finally, lay out the tortillas and fill them up with the rice, beans, roasted potatoes, pepper and onion mix, some spinach or romaine, and a spoonful of salsa if you like. Wrap them up and enjoy!
