Preparation
What You Need
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, 1 cup (250 mL) of the salsa and 2 cups (500 mL) water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring twice. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 min or until rice is tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Using a fork, stir in beans and half of the Canadian Monterey Jack cheese. Let stand, covered, for 2 min.
Spoon one-quarter of the bean mixture along the centre of each tortilla; top with remaining salsa and cheese. Fold up bottom then fold in both sides and roll up to enclose filling.
Tips
Cooking Tips: If you have the time, use long-grain brown rice in place of the white. Increase water for cooking to 3 cups (750 mL). Increase cooking time to 35 to 40 min, or according to package directions.
If you prefer, use 8 small whole wheat flour tortillas in place of the large and serve 2 burritos per person.
For the Adventurous: Use hot salsa and Canadian Monterey Jack with Hot Peppers for a spicy version.
