PINTO BEANS FOR BURRITOS



Pinto Beans for Burritos image

This is my attempt to re-create the beans at my favorite burrito place, Tortillas, in Atlanta GA. Unfortunately, they closed, so now I have to try to make my own burritos, because no other establishment makes a burrito that measures up. Also, I now live in NYC, which is a burrito desert. Do not pre-soak your beans. If you do this, they will already have absorbed a bunch of water and will not be able to absorb all the flavors from the spices and broth. Do not worry about the salt added at the beginning, it is an old wives' tale that beans will be tough if you add salt at the beginning. You want to add all the spices and seasonings at the start so the beans will absorb them.

Time 3h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb pinto beans
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 quart chicken broth
1 quart water

Steps:

  • Sort the beans to make sure there are no small rocks, screws, etc. in them. And yes, I have personally found these things in dried beans before. Sort or hope you have good dental coverage.
  • Put the beans, all the spices, and the olive oil in a large pot. Mix well.
  • Add the chicken broth and water, and stir to mix well.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook beans, uncovered, for 3 to 4 hours until done to your liking (It usually only takes me 3 hours, and sometimes less than 3 if I have it at a fast simmer. After 2 hours, take out a bean every 30 minutes or so and eat it to check if it is done enough for you).

Provided by courtneygaylord

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 12m

Yield 8 burritos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained, rinsed and shaken dry
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon good-quality chili powder (or less to taste)
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican blend cheese
8 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in a 350 degree oven.
  • 2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chili powder directly to the oil and stir quickly.
  • 3. Immediately add Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion and pinto beans, quickly stirring to distribute as evenly as possible. Reduce the heat to medium.
  • 4. Allow the potatoes and beans to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, until the potatoes and beans have become crisp and brown on the bottom. You may need to turn down the heat up or down a little to keep the sizzling sound but prevent burning. Just use your nose!
  • 5. When you can see good color developing on the bottom, use a metal spatula to flip the potatoes and beans, one square at a time. (If you notice that all of the oil has already been absorbed, you may need to add a little more oil under each square of filling.).
  • 6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the filling and cover the skillet loosely with aluminum foil or a cookie sheet. Allow the cheese to melt and the underside to brown.
  • 7. Add one scoop of filling to each warmed tortilla. Serve as-is or top with any of your favorite tex-mex toppings. (Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and green onions all work well.).
