3. [2:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=166s) Add the long grain rice to the pan and stir to toast slightly.
4. [3:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=181s) Season the rice with oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder.

6. [4:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=290s) Lightly coat the poblano peppers with oil and roast them on a hot grill until the skin is blackened.
7. [5:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=324s) Fry bacon in a skillet to render the fat, then remove the bacon pieces, leaving the grease in the pan.
8. [6:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=380s) Add the canned pinto beans to the skillet with bacon grease, straining them but reserving the liquid.
9. [7:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=458s) Season the beans with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, then mash them, adding reserved bean liquid if too dry.
10. [10:55](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=655s) Place the roasted peppers in a paper bag, seal it, and let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
11. [11:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=700s) Peel the skin off the steamed peppers, remove the seeds, and slice them into strips.
12. [12:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=734s) Warm a large flour tortilla on a flat top grill for about 10 seconds per side to make it pliable.

14. [13:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro9A3h3d_aQ&t=790s) Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it tightly away from you.
