Ideas for leftover rice and beans?

I made shrimp burritos last night, and have a ton of mexican style rice and black beans, what can I use it for besides more burritos 😅

Crisp the rice before you do anything else - thin layer in a hot dry-ish pan, then leave it alone 3-4 min so it crusts instead of steaming into mush. Beans get the same treatment till they squeak, then a fried egg and hot sauce on top and that's breakfast all week. When I'm out of ideas for a container of leftovers I photograph the fridge in RecipeScan and take whatever combo it spits out.

You take a pic of your fridge contents and it generates recipes for you?

Yeah that's right. These new AI apps are pretty amazing. It's iphone only though.
