Preparation Steps
1. In medium saucepan, combine contents of seasoning packet, rice, water, olive oil and, if desired, cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 24 to 26 minutes or until most of water is absorbed. Uncover and stir in beans. Let stand covered 5 minutes.
2. To assemble burritos, spoon rice and bean mixture on lower third of each tortilla, dividing evenly. Sprinkle cheese and green onions on top of rice mixture, dividing evenly; roll up tortillas enclosing filling.
3. To serve, place two burritos on each plate. Top with lettuce, tomato and guacamole, dividing evenly.
