Spicy Black Bean, Sausage, and Rice Burrito
One part burrito, one part jambalaya, all good. If you want to crank the heat, splash some hot sauce onto the rice and beans, or sprinkle diced jalapeno peppers inside before rolling up the tortilla. This filling also would be good as a hearty rice dish served alongside spicy grilled chicken. Or add a quart of chicken broth, bring it to a simmer, and you've got a satisfying soup.
