  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Bean Mixture

  • 1 1/4 cup refried beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons warm water (to loosen beans, optional)

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (or more, as desired)
  • Cooking spray or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bean mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the refried beans with cumin, paprika, and granulated garlic. If the beans are too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water to loosen the mixture and achieve a smooth consistency. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a large skillet or frying pan over low to medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray, or add a small amount of your preferred cooking oil or butter to prevent sticking and enhance browning.
  3. Assemble the burritos: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the prepared refried bean mixture onto each tortilla, using about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per tortilla depending on size. Then, generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans, covering the surface up to the edges for a flavorful, cheesy bite.
  4. Roll and cook the burritos: Tightly roll each tortilla into a burrito shape, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed. Place the rolled burritos seam side down in the heated pan. Cook for several minutes on each side until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside melts to seal the burrito together.
  5. Serve: Once browned and crispy on all sides, remove the burritos from the pan. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce to enjoy a warm, delicious meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the cheese quantity based on preference for a cheesier or lighter filling.
  • Use warm water sparingly to avoid making the refried beans too watery.
  • For extra crispiness, press down gently on the burritos while cooking with a spatula.
  • If preferred, substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
  • Optional spices can be omitted or adjusted to taste for milder or more robust flavor.
