Bean & Cheese Burrito

Burrito is one of those words from Mexico which makes fairly little sense to people from Spain (Burrito directly translated is small donkey). A bean and cheese burrito obviously doesn't need much more than what the name implies, but here is my suggestion.

Ingredients:
- white kidney beans
- pico de gallo
- tortilla (so-called burrito size)
- cheddar cheese
- avocado
- sour cream

While the beans are simmering, prepare the pico de gallo, cut the avocado in slices, and grate the cheddar.

The burritos are easiest to make if the tortilla has been warmed a little bit - but not too much as they get rather crisp and tend to break as water evaporates on continued heating. Place a line of grated cheddar on the tortilla, warm it up for 30-45 seconds, then add everything else and fold it by first flipping over one side, then closing up the ends and finally the other side - I promise I'll have more detailed pictures next time I make burritos!
