Now add your 3 beans and tin of chopped tomatoes and stir , let it gently simmer and cook for about 10 minutes , check the seasoning and if you want add a little more chipotle paste to turn up the heat , once cooked allow it to cool while you go get your wraps.
Once the beans are cooled spread about ¼ cup of the bean mixture across the lower third of each tortilla. Sprinkle with grated cheese and a slice of avocado or spinach
Fold up the burrito by bringing the bottom end over the filling, folding in the sides, and then rolling it up.
Warm a pan/griddle pan and add ,seem side up , your burrito and cook until browned (3 to 4 minutes checking every so often)
then turn over so the seem is down and cook for another 4 minutes and your ready to go
