NOTES

Notes

You can eat this burrito without heating it in the oven. Personally, I like when the tortilla is a little cooked on the outside.
You can simplify this recipe by using 1 cup of black beans and not adding in all of the spices and bean ingredients. This option is still flavorful because our homemade chipotle sauce that we will later add to the burrito has lots of flavor.
