In a small pot, combine @white rice{½%cup}, 1%cup water, ¼%cup @mild red enchilada sauce{1%cup}, and a pinch of @salt{1%tsp}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender ~{15%minutes}.

While rice cooks, wash and dry all produce. Trim and discard root end from @baby lettuce{1%head}; halve lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise. Dice @tomato{1%unit} into ¼-inch pieces.

Heat a second small pot over medium heat. Add @three-bean blend{1%can} with liquid, ½%cup mild red enchilada sauce, salt, and @black pepper{1%tsp}. Simmer until sauce has reduced slightly and beans are warmed through ~{4%minutes}.

Lay @flour tortillas{4%pieces} on a clean work surface. Place about ⅓%cup rice in a line on the bottom third of each tortilla. Using a slotted spoon, top rice with about ½%cup bean mixture; sprinkle with half the @mexican cheese blend{½%cup}. Top with a pinch of lettuce and a pinch of tomato.

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Add burritos, seam sides down. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy all over ~{3%minutes}.

Divide burritos between shallow microwave-safe serving bowls. Pour remaining mild red enchilada sauce over burritos; sprinkle with remaining mexican cheese blend. Microwave each dish until sauce is warmed through and cheese melts ~{30%seconds} per dish. Serve with @sour cream{2%tbsp} on the side.
