Bean Burrito Recipe
Description
This Bean Burrito Recipe starts by heating refried beans with shortening and milk until smooth, then stirring in cheddar cheese and taco seasoning for flavor and creaminess. The use of shortening helps create a smooth texture while cheese adds richness.
Flour tortillas are cooked according to package instructions and kept warm to facilitate rolling. To assemble, each tortilla is filled with a portion of the bean mixture and topped with cheddar cheese before folding the sides and rolling tightly.
This method produces burritos with a soft tortilla exterior and a cheesy, flavorful bean filling. They can be served immediately or stored for later use.
For storage, wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 4-5 days. For freezing, double wrap with plastic and foil and freeze up to 6 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven, following removal of plastic wrap, or microwave after thawing with a damp paper towel to keep moist.
Ingredients
Refried Beans
- 1 (30-ounce) can refried beans
- ¼ cup shortening Crisco brand
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
To Assemble
- 12 flour tortilla soft taco size, uncooked
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Add the beans, shortening, and milk to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese and taco seasoning.
- Cook the flour tortillas according to the package directions. Keep warm in a towel until ready to use.
- To assemble the burritos, add ⅓ cup of beans to the center of a tortilla, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese. Fold in the edges of the tortilla toward the center, then roll up, tucking in all of the filling.
Notes
- Store wrapped burritos in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- Freeze burritos wrapped with plastic and foil for up to 6 months.
- For oven reheating, remove plastic wrap before covering with foil; bake at 400°F for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake 8–12 minutes more.
- For microwave reheating, thaw burritos, poke holes, wrap with a damp paper towel, and heat 1–2 minutes.
