Step 1
Dice the yellow bell pepper and the jalapeño. Remove half the ribs and seeds of the jalapeño to control the heat level.
Step 2
Roughly chop a bunch of cilantro, then toss it with a squirt of lime juice and a pinch of salt to make it pop.
Step 3
Open, drain, and pour the beans into a large pan over medium-high heat with a splash of water to soften them up.
Step 4
Add the diced yellow pepper and jalapeño to the pan, allowing them to cook and soften with the beans.
Step 5
Measure out the spices (smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, chili powder, coriander, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper) into a small bowl.

Important Notes
You can defrost the burritos in the fridge overnight and microwave them on high for 1 minute per side.
To microwave straight from frozen, cook on high for 2 minutes per side. Cut the burrito in half halfway through to ensure the center is thoroughly warmed.
Wrapping the burritos in parchment paper prevents them from sticking to each other in the freezer and keeps them structurally intact.
Creating a 'donut shape' on the cooling plate exposes more surface area, making the mixture cool down much faster.
Removing the ribs of the jalapeño removes most of the heat, leaving you with jalapeño flavor without intense spiciness.
