Cook rice as per the instructions on the package and ensure you have 2 cups of cooked rice for this recipe.
Prepare spinach tortillas as per this recipe or use store-bought flour tortillas or corn tortillas of choice.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat and add the onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper.
Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for a further minute while stirring occasionally.
Add all spices, lemon, liquid aminos, plant-based milk, passata, and hot sauce, then stir and let simmer for about 3 minutes.
Add cooked rice and beans, stir everything together and turn off the heat.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed.
Preheat oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit (210 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
