9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Warm the tortillas
in a microwave to make them easier to roll.

prepared pan. Place 1/3 cup meat mixture down the middle of each tortilla.
Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of black beans. Roll burrito and place

to 2 cups of green chili sauce over burritos and sprinkle with Monterey
Jack cheese.

minutes or until cheese is melted and burritos are warmed through.
