This recipe was one of our favorite vegan dishes when we were trying the Daniel Fast diet. I could not use the store bought tortillas due to the preservatives, so I decided to try making my own with whole wheat flour and I am so glad I did because I have made them 3-4 more times since. Homemade tortillas are delicious and though they take more time, I think it's totally worth it. It also proved to be a fun thing for my youngest daughter who is three to help out with. If anyone would like the recipe to make wheat totillas on your own, post a comment and I will give you my recipe. As far as these Black Bean and Brown Rice Burritos go, my entire family gave them a big thumbs up!

2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt, to taste

Pico De Gallo:
3 fresh plum tomatoes, diced
