Bean and Cheese Burritos are a quick, satisfying, and budget-friendly comfort food made with creamy refried beans and melty cheese wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep, they’re endlessly customizable and freezer-friendly.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium or large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups refried beans (canned or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Butter or oil for pan-toasting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the refried beans in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until heated through. Stir in cumin and garlic powder if using.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of beans down the center.
  3. Top with shredded cheese and optional sour cream or salsa.
  4. Fold the sides in, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
  5. For a crispy finish, heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter or oil, and cook the burrito seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dips like guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.

Notes

Use plant-based cheese and vegan beans for a vegan option.Add sautéed vegetables or cooked meat for more texture and flavor.Wrap tightly to prevent filling from spilling out during cooking or reheating.Great for meal prep—make ahead and store in the fridge or freezer.
