MAKE-AHEAD BURRITOS
We have two children who keep us busy, so I love meals I can just pull out of the freezer. The burritos are wrapped individually so it's easy to take out only the number you need. I serve them with canned refried beans and Spanish rice from a boxed mix. -Jennifer Shafer, Durham, North Carolina.

MAKE AHEAD BEAN BURRITO OR TACO FILLING (OAMC)
Delicious to have on hand, this bean filling can be used for so much more than tacos or burritos: As a casserole filling, part of a mexican layer dip, lettuce wraps (add some shredded jicama!) etc. You could also modify the flavor profile by adding some fried plantains. If you like, you can wrap up the burritos ahead of time, flash freeze on non-stick trays, and store in freezer bags. I just prefer to thaw the filling and wrap as needed. Don't skip the cinnamon - it really makes the dish!

BURRITO ESSENTIALS: SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
I love a good burrito, and I love chimichangas. I also like walks in the rain, without an umbrella, and soft ice cream, but I digress. This recipe has aspects of a traditional burrito, and some of a chimichanga. The best of both worlds. Cook them up today, or freeze them for another day. Up to you. So, you ready... Let's get...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. One of my goals here at Just-a-Pinch was not just to post recipes, but to use those recipes in combination, to made creative dishes. So, here are the previously-posted recipes that I used to make this yummy burrito.
- 3. These recipes can be made a day or two ahead of time, and then reheated on the day needed: *** THE RICE *** https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/rice-side/baked-essentials-parmesan-cilantro-lime-rice.html *** THE SPICY BEEF PORK *** https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/beef/mexican-essentials-make-ahead-burrito-filling.html *** THE SALSA *** https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/salsa/awesome-tomatillo-lime-salsa.html?r=4 *** THE CHEESE SAUCE *** https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/mexican-essentials-green-chili-sauce.html
- 4. A medium avocado will provide you with enough topping for 2 or possibly 3 burritos.
- 5. If you are freezing these, stop before you get to the steps on pan frying. When needed, let them defrost for about an hour, then wrap in foil, or parchment paper, and stick into a 250f (120c), oven for about 30 - 40 minutes, then remove and pan fry.
- 6. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 7. Lay the flour tortilla down on a clean surface, and then add the refried beans in an even layer, right down the middle.
- 8. Chef's Note: Since we will be rolling this tortilla up, leave about an inch (2.5cm) on the left and right.
- 9. Next, add the rice.
- 10. Then the spicy ground beef/pork.
- 11. The salsa.
- 12. Finally, the cheese.
- 13. THE FOLDING
- 14. Ah, one of the secrets to a good burrito, or chimichanga is proper folding. It is not exactly rocket science; however, there are a few things to consider. First of all, do not overstuff with filling, or it will fall apart when you try to eat it. Another tip is that the beef/pork filling should be nice and warm, but not boiling hot. Finally, of course, is the folding: As you face the tortilla, the filling should be going left-to-right. Fold the two sides in towards the center. Fold the bottom (the side closest to you), tightly up and over the filling. Now, tightly roll it up and over the top, so that the flap is on the bottom. There you go.
- 15. Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium heat.
- 16. When the foaming subsides, add the burrito, flap-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- 17. Turn over, and repeat for the other side.
- 18. Chef's Note: Pan-frying the burrito, accomplishes two things: It gives the tortilla a satisfying crunch (like a chimichunga, but without deep frying), and it helps to melt the cheese, making it gooey and yummy.
- 19. PLATE/PRESENT
- 20. Cut on the diagonal, add a dollop of mashed avocado, and drizzle with some yummy cheese sauce. Serve with some additional salsa, and sour cream, on the side, and maybe some nice tortilla chips. Enjoy
- 21. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
