Bean Burro Recipe

Appetizers

1. 1

   Prep heat and sheet

   Position a rack in the oven and preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

3. 3

   Make bean filling

   Stir in refried beans and mashed black beans. Add cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until warmed through and slightly thick, about 3–5 minutes.

4. 4

   Fill and roll burritos

   Warm tortillas just enough to soften. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of the bean filling along the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with a pinch of shredded cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake burritos

   Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese melts. If you like extra crispiness, you can broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the bean burros warm with pico de gallo and a dollop of sour cream or crema on the side.
