If you have leftover beef meatballs and cooked rice from last night's dinner, it's a great excuse to make a breakfast burrito! The filling also includes canned refried beans, shredded cheese, fresh pico de gallo salsa, avocado, fresh lettuce, and the highlight of this burrito—chipotle sauce, which imbues the filling with a rich, savory flavor and a subtle smoky aroma.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Combine the meatballs, chipotle salsa, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, reheat the beans and rice separately according to package directions. Place a rectangle of refried beans in the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with about half the cheese. Divide the rice, meatball mixture, pico de gallo, avocado, and lettuce among the tortillas and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortillas into the center and roll into a burrito.

Brush the burritos with vegetable oil on all sides and wrap each tightly in foil. Cook the burritos in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side. Serve with chipotle salsa.
