01
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 diced tomatoes with chile peppers. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer gently until the rice is tender and the liquid is gone—this usually takes about 50 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice cooks, mix together cumin, turmeric, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and seasoned salt in a big bowl. Drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the cubed potatoes until they’re nicely coated. Spread them out in a single layer on your baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake for 15 to 30 minutes depending on how big your potato pieces are, flipping them halfway through so they brown evenly.

Step 3
Next, warm a skillet over medium heat and sauté the bell pepper and onion until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute before taking it off the heat. Meanwhile, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat until they’re warmed through.

Step 4
Finally, warm your tortillas in a skillet over low heat for a minute or two, or just follow the package directions. To assemble, lay out your tortillas and pile on the rice, beans, roasted potatoes, pepper-onion mix, fresh spinach, romaine, and some salsa if you like. Wrap everything up snugly and enjoy!
