BURROS

Method

BURROS

  1. 1

    Sauté aromatics

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the beans

    Sprinkle in ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper; cook and stir for another 30-45 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine beans and melt cheese

    Add the cooked pinto beans and refried beans to the skillet. Mash lightly with a spoon and simmer 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cook until melted into the bean mixture.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas

    In a separate dry skillet, warm the flour tortillas for 20-30 seconds per side until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble burritos

    Spread an even layer of bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of salsa on top. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form burritos.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Optional: top with extra salsa or sour cream and serve immediately.
