Ingredients
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups refried beans (canned or homemade)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– ½ cup salsa (optional)
– Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
Creating your bean and cheese burritos is a breeze by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the refried beans with half of the shredded cheese. If desired, add salsa to enhance the flavor.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet for about 10 seconds on each side to warm, making it more pliable.
3. Fill the Tortillas: Lay the warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the bean and cheese mixture into the center of the tortilla, leaving some space around the edges.
4. Fold: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to secure the filling inside. Keep the burrito tightly wrapped.
5. Fry the Burritos: In the same skillet, add a splash of cooking oil. Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve: Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve with additional salsa if desired.
