Ingredients

• 2 cups Refried beans
• 4 Flour tortillas (large, burrito-sized)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup Cooked white or brown rice
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for warming the tortillas)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 2

Warm each tortilla individually in the skillet for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable, then set aside on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are warm and smooth.

Step 4

If using cold leftover rice, warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.

Step 5

Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread 1/2 cup of refried beans evenly in the center, leaving about 2 inches of space around the edges.

Step 6

Top the beans with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of rice, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of salsa or pico de gallo, a handful of shredded lettuce, a few diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 9

Optional: To crisp the burrito, place it seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your refried bean burrito with extra salsa or sour cream on the side if desired.
