Any leftover beef, chicken or lamb can be used as a filling in these tasty burritos. Just make sure the meat is heated through really well once added to the bean and onions. Vegetarian burritos are just as satisfying.
Place olive oil in a saucepan over high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes until starting to color. Add salt and spices and cook a further 2 minutes. Add beans and tomatoes and cook 5 minutes on a medium heat. Add beef and stir, cook on high for 3 minutes or until meat is heated through. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in the oven or warm them in a sandwich press for a few seconds to make them easier to handle. Lay out on a bench and fill evenly with rice, bean mix, cheese, guacamole and rocket. Serve with jalapeno hot peppers and your favorite chilli sauce.
