These burritos layer seasoned refried beans with melted cheese inside soft flour tortillas, then get a quick skillet toast for added texture. Ready in under 30 minutes, they work well for weeknight dinners, lunchboxes, or a quick snack. Customize with salsa, sour cream, or avocado for extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups refried beans
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup salsa, for serving
- 1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
Method
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the refried beans with cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder, stirring occasionally, until heated through and smooth.
-
Lay out the tortillas on a clean work surface and spread about 1/2 cup of the warmed beans down the center of each.
-
Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the beans on each tortilla, then top with chopped cilantro.
-
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to form a tight burrito, tucking the filling in as you go.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp.
-
Flip the burritos and cook the other side until golden and the cheese has fully melted inside.
-
Transfer burritos to a cutting board, slice in half on the diagonal, and serve warm with salsa and sour cream.
