Steps:
- If the cooked rice is cold, reheat it in the microwave. When hot, mix in the Cheddar until the cheese melts. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Mash the avocado and lime juice together in a small bowl with a fork until it becomes a spreadable consistency.
- Lay the tortilla out on a cutting board. Spread the mashed avocado on the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch outer border without any avocado. In the bottom third of the tortilla, lay out in a log shape the rice, beans, carrots and salsa. Roll over once tightly, then tuck in the sides and continue rolling. The avocado should help the burrito stay together. Cut in half. Wrap in a paper towel, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- Place beans in microwave safe dish.
- Stir in next 5 ingredients.
- Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
- Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
- If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
- Mix in rice, if using.
- Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
- Use the method you like best.
- I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
- Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
- You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
- I like to skip this step.
- That's it!
- These refrigerate well for a few days.
- I can't speak for the freezer.
- I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
- Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
- No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In large mixing bowl mash beans with grated onion.
- Stir in chiles, cilantro and chili powder.
- Spread tortillas out on counter and place equal amounts of the bean mixture on each one.
- Top with 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice.

- Pour salsa evenly over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Garnish with shredded lowfat cheese and fat free sour cream.
Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all great choices for burritos. If you're using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them before using.
- Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you're using a rice cooker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your burritos the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overstuff the burritos: If you overstuff the burritos, they will be difficult to roll and eat. Aim for a burrito that is about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of filling.
- Warm the tortillas before filling: This will make them more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll them up.
- Garnish the burritos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
