- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 can refried beans
- 2 cups rice
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salsa
- Cilantro-lime rice, side
How to Make It
- Warm rice and beans, separately or together.
- Warm tortillas so they roll without cracking.
- Layer rice, beans, and cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll tight, tucking in the sides; serve with salsa.
- Serve with cilantro-lime rice on the side.
No-Time-For-That Tip: Warm the tortillas before rolling — cold tortillas crack and you lose half the filling.
Swap It: Add a fried or scrambled egg and this becomes a breakfast burrito, same method.
