Default Bean burrito recipe?

What are the best things to add to beans to make a tasty, interesting
burrito? To start with, refry the beans. But good refritos are cooked
in fat....

Beef. But tasty meat has fat.

Cheese. But ....

That leaves you your choice of veggies but by now I'd give up. Eat a
little less for the next week then indulge yourself with a big bean,
beef and cheese burrito. Add a strip of Anaheim chile just to live a
little.

[Rant mode On] :
People all the time ask for oxymoronic food -- low carb pasta, low fat
burritos, decaf espresso, vegetarian hamburgers, [add your own examples
here] -- as though any transgressions from their dietary limitations is
unforgiveable. Instead, after a lengthy period of abstinence:
splurge! Then make up for it so you can do it again after a while.
Falling off wagons is one of life's pleasures, and doesn't have to hurt
you. [I blame the denial of this fact on that fake religion known as
AA, but that's a whole different rant.] -aem
