  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave until pliable, 30 seconds.

  • Lay tortillas on a clean work surface and place ⅓ cup rice in a line on the bottom third of each tortilla. Top with ⅓ cup beans, 1 TBSP pico de gallo (draining first), and as much zucchini as you like. TIP: Save leftover rice, beans, and zucchini for serving.

  • Fold bottom of each tortilla over filling, then fold over left and right sides toward filling. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to form burritos.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for beans over medium heat. Add burritos, seam sides down; cook until lightly browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side (be sure to flip carefully to keep all that deliciousness intact!).
