Cook the rice in plenty of boiling water for 25 minutes until tender. Drain and leave to steam dry.
25 min - 2
Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion and peppers for 8 minutes until soft.
8 min - 3
Add the garlic, cumin and paprika, stir for 1 minute, then add the beans and sweetcorn. Cook for 5 minutes.
5 min - 4
Mix in the rice, lime juice and coriander. Taste and add more lime if you like.

Warm the tortillas for 10 seconds each so they bend. Put a generous scoop of filling in the middle, fold in the sides and roll up tightly.

Wrap each burrito in baking paper, then foil or a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen: unwrap the foil, microwave for about 3 minutes until hot in the middle, then crisp in a dry pan if you like.
