Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 15 ounces canned refried beans
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece avocado, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Warm the flour tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in aluminum foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the refried beans and stir in the salt and ground black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the beans are heated through, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Evenly spread about 1/4 of the warm refried beans down the center of each tortilla.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beans on each tortilla.

Step 5

On top of the cheese, add a couple of tablespoons of salsa, a spoonful of sour cream, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for each burrito.

Step 6

To roll up the burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

Step 7

Once all burritos are assembled, return them to the dry skillet over low heat and warm them for an additional minute on each side to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 8

Remove from skillet, slice each burrito in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade bean and cheese burritos!
