Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Brown ground beef in a frying pan with about ⅔ of red bell pepper diced as well as ⅔ of the diced green pepper (set aside the rest to sprinkle on top later)

Heat Ready rice in microwave for 1½ minutes
In bowl combine preheated rice, green chilies, 2 tbsp sour cream, juice squeezed from ½ of a lime, and salt and pepper to taste
On each flour tortilla first spread ¼ cup refried beans with rubber spatula, cover with ¼ cup rice mixture, and ⅓ cup seasoned ground beef, and top it off with approximately ⅛ cup shredded Pepperjack cheese
Fold ends of tortilla in and roll into a burrito
Place in lightly greased 9x13 casserole dish (with open end of tortilla facing down to help keep from unraveling)

Drizzle this sauce evenly over the top of the burritos (spread with rubber spatula if needed)
