To serve:.
3
Make burritos.
4
Good with refried rice, guacamole etc. Can be covered with queso, or verde sauce if desired. I usually cover mine with salsa, depending on what type we have on hand.

PS: Best make one burrito and serve, then make one for the next person. If you make a platter full of burritos, they are apt to get soggy. Or you can put all ingredients on the table, and let everyone make their own.
