Instructions
1-Prepare the rice: Prepare the rice. Rinse ½ cup of rice and add it to a pot, followed by salsa, ¾ cup of water or broth, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer for 12 minutes without stirring. Then, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice steam for 10 minutes with the lid on.
2-In the meantime, make the sauce: In the meantime, make the sauce. To a bowl, add all of the ingredients for the sauce and mix until well combined. The sauce should be thick but pourable. Taste and adjust the flavor if needed, adding more salt, black pepper, or pickle juice to taste.
3-Assemble the burritos: Assemble the burritos. To a large tortilla spread a few tablespoons of refried beans, then to the side of the tortilla that’s closer to you add some of the cooked rice, a dollop of the jalapeno sauce, and some cheese sauce (or shredded cheese).
4-To fold the burritos, fold the edges: To fold the burritos, fold the edges first, then using your hands roll the burrito towards its end, making sure that the edges don’t loosen up.
5-Brown the burritos: Brown the burritos. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a teaspoon of olive oil and let it heat until it sizzles. Add the burritos to the hot pan with the end of the tortilla facing down, and cook for 1 minute per side, or until golden brown. Serve right away while still warm!
