Ingredients:

  • 1 tortilla
  • 1/2 cup cooked yellow rice
  • 1/3 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon picante sauce

Instructions:

  1. Cook the yellow rice according to package instructions, then set aside and keep warm.
  2. Warm the rice and beans together, seasoning with cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  3. Warm the tortilla so it rolls easily.
  4. Spoon the rice and beans into the center of the tortilla.
  5. Top with cheddar and picante sauce.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll into a burrito. Warm seam-side down in a pan if you want it lightly toasted.

Chef’s note: This is a simple pantry-style lunch that feels warm, filling, and familiar.

Optional: Add guacamole, chopped tomatoes, or sauteed peppers.
