Ingredients
- 4 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Directions
Step 1
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Step 2
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of the warm refried beans evenly over the center of the tortilla.
Step 3
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the beans.
Step 4
Add a spoonful of salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro over the cheese.
Step 5
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Step 6
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Swirl to coat the surface.
Step 7
Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with additional salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
