Pinto Bean Burritos with Zingy, Green Tomatillo Sauce

Pinto beans can be seasoned so they are hearty and filling. This dish celebrates a green sauce to top the burritos. It is fresh and zingy and makes a nice compliment to the warm bean filling. The purchased tortillas are made from rice flour and work well as a wrap for burritos. This is a quick, easy dish you'll want to serve regularly.
