Refried Beans

Method

Prepare Refried Beans

  1. 1

    Heat the Beans

    In a medium saucepan, heat the canned refried beans over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Season the Beans

    Once heated through, add garlic powder, cumin, and salt to the beans. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld.

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil into the bean mixture, stirring well to incorporate. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble Burritos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Spread a spoonful of the refried beans in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 6

    Roll the Burritos

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Place the burritos seam-side down on a plate. Serve with additional salsa and sour cream on the side if desired.
