Burritos with cilantro lime dipping sauce

I don't have a real name for these. I adapted them from an appetizer recipe in a free Costco cookbook that was given to me. They key here, is the dipping sauce. AWESOME.

For the filling:

1 box mexican or spanish style rice, cooked according to package directions
1 can rinsed black beans
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis, drained
2 cups cheese (you could probably get away with less, but why?)
I medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped

Mix all the above ingredients. Place desired amount of filling in tortillas, and wrap up burrito style. Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Using either butter or cooking spray, grease skillet and quickly brown both sides of the burritos (one at a time), try to sear the seam side together. After both sides are brown, place the burritos in a 350 oven for 5- 10 minutes.

Cilantro/Lime dipping sauce:
8 ounces sour cream
3 T lime juice
2 oz. fresh cilantro, minced
1 tsp each of: ground cumin, chili power, cayenne power, salt, black pepper

Hope you enjoy, I really did!
