Bean and Cheese Burritos
Bean and Cheese Burritos combine refried beans seasoned with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, with melted cheddar or Mexican blend cheese wrapped in flour tortillas. The burritos are pan-toasted to create a slightly crisp exterior while keeping the filling warm and soft inside. This method enhances the flavor and texture, making them satisfying for a casual meal. Served with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or hot sauce, they offer a customizable, hearty option for a quick vegetarian dish.

Ingredients
For the Burritos:
- 16 oz refried beans
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 flour tortillas
- 1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese or shredded Mexican blend cheese
For Serving:
- salsa
- guacamole
- sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- hot sauce
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the refried beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until beans are warm. Remove from heat.
- Place a tortilla on a work surface. Spread 1/3 cup of beans in the center of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
- Fold the sides, 1 to 2 inches inwards. This will prevent the filling from falling out of the bottom of your burrito as you eat it. Next, fold the bottom over so it completely covers the filling.
- Starting with the bottom flap that’s covering the filling, roll the burrito, tucking the flap firmly inwards as you roll to secure the fillings. Continue rolling until your burrito is seam side down.
- Continue making burritos with remaining ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the burritos seam side down in the pan and heat for a few minutes on each side until the outside is slightly crisp and the burritos are warm. Alternatively, you can wrap the burritos in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are warm all the way through and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Serve warm with desired toppings.
