Prepping Ingredients for Maximum Flavor

For the best results, use freshly chopped onions, peppers, and garlic to infuse the beans and rice with robust flavor. A Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can save you tons of time on prep, making dice work a breeze.

If you’d like truly creamy beans or want to make homemade salsa for garnish, a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender ensures the perfect texture in seconds.

Cooking in the Crockpot

Simply add all your ingredients into the slow cooker, set it, and walk away. The rice cooks evenly with the beans, absorbing all those aromatic spices and broth—no separate pots needed! If you want to crisp up burritos for serving, an COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt gives them a golden finish in minutes.

Lining your prep area or storage containers with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll also makes for easy cleanup after rolling and filling burritos.
