1. Place a medium-sized pot over a medium heat. Heat the oil through, then cook the onion and chilli together until the onions become soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Next, stir in add chipotle paste then add the passata. Stir thoroughly, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and leave to cook for 5 minutes. Next add the whole can of beans. Stir, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to high and cook without the lid on to reduce to a thick stew. Once you’ve reached the desired consistency, remove from the heat.
2. Boil the rice until cooked then drain. Set aside to cool slightly. Squeeze in half a lime, then add the coriander and add salt to taste. Stir well.
3. Combine all the ingredients for the veggies and cook in a hot pan with a little oil until softened.
4. Assemble the burritos. Place a tortilla, slightly warmed, on a sheet of foil. Add some rice, slightly-crushed tortilla chips, beans and veggies near the bottom half of the tortilla.
5. To roll into a burrito, fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling, and pull the filling back toward the bottom third of the tortilla. Now make two folds on either side of the large fold. Next, tuck and tightly roll as you go using the tips of your fingers to tuck and press the filling into a tight cylinder. Use the foil underneath to wrap and form the burrito into a cylinder.
6. Serve with tortilla chips and fresh guacamole.
