   To start your delicious burrito adventure, grab a saucepan and fill it with enough water to cover your brown rice.

   Bring that water to a rolling boil, then gently add the rice.

3. Step 3

   Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer away for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.

   While the rice is cooking, let’s turn our attention to the vibrant red cabbage.

5. Step 5

   Carefully cut off the stem and peel off the leaves, treating them with care.

6. Step 6

   Place those beautiful leaves into a large pot of boiling water and let them cook for about 5 minutes.

   After that, reduce the heat and let them simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes until they’re tender yet still have a delightful crunch.

   Once done, drain the leaves and set them aside, ready to add a pop of color to your burritos.

    Heat some olive oil over medium-high heat and toss in your chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic.
