Mexican · Main course · 20 min total

These bean and cheese burritos are a quick, satisfying meal made with refried beans, melted cheese, and your favorite fillings wrapped in a warm tortilla.

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add cumin and salt to taste.
2. Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
3. Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans down the center of each tortilla.
4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over the beans.
5. Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa, and top with cilantro if using.
6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
7. Place the burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese is melted.
8. Serve immediately with extra salsa and sour cream.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add cooked rice, seasoned ground beef, or sautéed peppers and onions.
• To make ahead, wrap burritos in foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
• Store leftover burritos in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
