How to make Javant’s healthy burrito
Cauliflower
The base of the burrito is roasted cauliflower tossed with red onions and a blend of spices. Once baked, it adds substance and savory depth.
- Why it works: Soaks up flavor, becomes slightly crisp when roasted
- Health benefits: High in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants
Coconut aminos
To reduce sodium, Javant swaps soy-based condiments for coconut aminos.
“I use coconut aminos to replace things like soy sauce and liquid aminos… I do that because the soy in the liquid aminos has a lot more sodium than the coconut aminos,” he explains.
- Why it works: Adds umami with less salt
- Health benefits: Lower sodium alternative that supports cardiovascular health
Black beans
Black beans bring protein, fiber, and blood sugar support to the dish.
“Beans are super, super healthy foods,” Javant says.
- Why it works: Adds bulk and texture
- Health benefits: Packed with resistant starch, which benefits gut health and metabolic stability
Sweet potato
Mashed sweet potato offers natural sweetness and creamy texture.
“I love sweet potatoes, they’re one of my favorite foods,” Javant says.
- Why it works: Smooth and grounding
- Health benefits: High in beta-carotene, potassium, and complex carbs
Cilantro lime sauce
This homemade sauce is blended from cilantro, hemp seeds, lime juice, garlic, a date, and water. It finishes the burrito with fresh, creamy flavor.
“Sauces like this are not only healthy but they’re so easy to make,” Javant says.
- Why it works: Balances the dish with bright acidity
- Health benefits: Cilantro may help to detoxify your body, and hemp seeds are rich in omega-3s
Final assembly
Once the ingredients are ready, Javant assembles everything onto a tigernut flatbread and layers it into a generous wrap.
“This is one delicious burrito,” he says.
Simple, colorful, and nutrient-dense, this recipe proves that whole food plant-based meals can be just as comforting as they are nourishing. Whether you’re meal prepping or making a quick lunch, this burrito is an easy go-to that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
