Bean & Cheese Burritos
A piping hot filling of velvety beans and melted cheese in crisp-edged tortillas is satisfyingly chewy and so easy to make.
Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 (16-ounce) cans refried beans
- 12 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 1 cup sliced green onions, divided
- 6 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, optional
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread 1/4 cup beans down center of each tortilla. Top beans with equal portions of 2 cups Monterey Jack, 1/2 cup green onions and jalapeños.
Fold up one edge of each tortilla; fold one side in toward center. Roll each tortilla into a cylinder and tightly enclose filling. Arrange seam sides down in a baking dish.
Bake burritos, covered with foil, for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine salsa and sour cream in a small bowl and mix well. Top burritos with lettuce, tomato, remaining Monterey Jack and remaining green onions. Serve salsa mixture with the burritos.
Secret Tip
You can save time by warming the tortillas in the microwave. Place tortillas, 6 at a time, in a resealable plastic bag with a damp paper towel. Seal the bag and microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute.
