Toast and cook the rice

• Toast the rice in a little oil over medium heat in a saucepan.
• Add the water and bring back up to a boil.
• Turn the heat down to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes.

Rest the rice

• Remove from the heat and let it rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Warm the refried beans

• Heat the refried beans over medium heat.
• Thin them with a little water if desired and stir in a little sour cream for a richer flavor.

Warm the cheese sauce

• Heat the cheese sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Fill the tortillas

• Heat each tortilla on a skillet to make it easier to fold.
• Spread a little cheese sauce, a little refried beans and about a quarter cup of rice on each tortilla.
• Do not overfill, or the burritos will be difficult to fold.

Fold the burritos

• Fold the sides in and roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito.
• Repeat with all the tortillas and filling.

Grill the burritos (optional)

• Grill the burritos in a skillet with a little oil for a better texture and flavor.

Assemble the burrito bake

• Mix the remaining beans and rice together.
• Cut the scrap tortillas in half.
• Layer the tortillas, bean-rice mixture and leftover cheese sauce in a baking dish, like a lasagna.

Bake the burrito bake

• Cover everything and bake at 175 °C for 30 minutes.
• Cut into quarters and serve.
