We've all had the joy of the frozen dollar burrito, microwaved until just hot enough and then wolfed down to stave off starvation. This meal is that, but, let's say, 10 billion times better. Pinto beans are combined with spinach, garlic, chipotle seasoning, and gooey cheese and rolled in tortillas to make flautas. Crisped in a pan and topped with a tomato-y salsa (you can't get that in the frozen food aisle!), you'll never go back to your late-night snacks again.

Meat lovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. Add to flautas as desired, or serve on side.
