Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the pinto beans before mashing. If you prefer a bit of spice, try mixing in some diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper. You can also swap out pinto beans for black beans or refried beans if you have them on hand.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these burritos with a side of guacamole and salsa for dipping. A fresh salad or some corn on the side would complement the meal nicely. For a complete feast, consider pairing with Rita'S Chili Rellenos Casserole or a refreshing dessert like Flan Sol Y Sombra(Sun And Shadow Custard; Low-Fat).
Storage & Reheating
Leftover burritos can be wrapped tightly in foil or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them for about 1-2 minutes, but the oven method will keep them crispy.
