Directions

  1. If you are using dried beans, sort them, soak them overnight, discard the soaking water, and cook them until they are very tender (simmer for a long time, or about 20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Mash them if you like, and season to taste.
  2. Brown the meat in a large frying pan until it is golden brown, breaking it up into smaller pieces if it is diced. Remove any excess fat and season.
  3. For the rice, rinse it until the water runs clear, then cook it for 15-20 minutes over very low heat in twice its volume of water, and then let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
  4. Warm the tortilla to make it more pliable, either in a frying pan with a little oil or in the oven, covered with aluminum foil.
  5. Place it flat and arrange the fillings in the center, leaving a free edge of at least 5 cm. ≈ 3 min
  6. Fold the bottom edge of the filling over, then one side, sliding it underneath the filling. ≈ 3 min
  7. Make a small fold diagonally with the other side to secure the bottom, then roll it up to the end. ≈ 10 min
  8. Please enjoy immediately, but be careful, the filling is very hot. ≈ 3 min
