Directions
-
Rinse the dry rice by pouring it into the colander over a sink, washing it, and draining the excess water
-
Pour the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water into the small pot and place on stove at high heat. Stir in salt. Bring contents to a boil
-
Cover and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 20 minutes. DO NOT LIFT THE LID or you will lose the steam that allows the rice to cook properly
-
Open the cans of beans (using a can opener if there is no pull tab) Hold colander over sink and empty cans into the colander. Rinse with water and allow to drain
-
Pour beans and 1 cup of water into the medium pot and place on stove. Cook on medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with the wooden spoon. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for another 5 minutes
-
Check to see if the rice is ready. Rice should be thoroughly cooked and fluffy, having absorbed all the excess water. CAUTION: Hot! Blow on rice before taste testing
-
If the water has absorbed but the rice is still too firm: add 2 tbsp. of water and return to low heat for another 5 minutes
-
If the rice is fully cooked, but too much water remains: you may drain the water using the colander.Assemble your burritos! Place no more than 2 Tsp. of rice and 2 Tsp. of beans in the center of the tortilla, so as not to over stuff your burritos
