   Cook the Rellenos

   In the same skillet, place the filled tortillas seam-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

   Prepare the Arroz Verde

   In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and toast for 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth and add lime juice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked.

   Heat the cooked pinto beans in a small pot over low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
