    Josee was asking me how many dry beans she would need so I figured I would put my math skills to the test!

    To sustitute dry pinto beans for the cans in the burrito recipe:

    One 15 ounce can (drained) = 1-2/3 cups cooked beans
    ...and...
    1 cup dried beans = 3 cups of cooked beans

    So, for one recipe you need:
    3x15 ounce cans
    = 5 cups cooked beans
    = 1-2/3 cups dried beans

    If you're doubling it you will need 3-1/3 cups of dried beans!
