2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 limes (juiced)

Optional: pinch salt (to taste)
2 (10-inch) large tortillas

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, toss together cooked rice and fresh chopped cilantro, and drizzle with the lime juice. Heat in the microwave or on the stove just until hot, and give it a quick stir.

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the black beans or pinto beans, and season with the chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITOS



Refried Bean Burritos image

These are quick and fairly healthy if made with low fat ingredients, add some rice if you want to stretch them farther or just go with basic bean and cheese.

Provided by JMS0173

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (14 ounce) can refried beans (I use fat free)
1 teaspoon chili powder or 1 teaspoon ground dried chile
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 -5 dashes garlic powder
hot sauce
1 cup hot cooked rice (I usually omit) (optional)
8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded or thinly sliced (I use low fat)
your favorite salsa
1 package flour tortilla (10-in. The recipe usually uses 5 tortillas the way I make it)
chopped tomato
shredded lettuce
sliced black olives
sliced scallion
sliced jalapeno
sour cream
guacamole

Steps:

  • Place beans in microwave safe dish.
  • Stir in next 5 ingredients.
  • Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
  • Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
  • If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
  • Mix in rice, if using.
  • Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
  • Use the method you like best.
  • I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
  • Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
  • You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
  • I like to skip this step.
  • That's it!
  • These refrigerate well for a few days.
  • I can't speak for the freezer.
  • I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
  • Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
  • No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans are all great choices for burritos. If you're short on time, you can use canned beans. Otherwise, dried beans are a more economical option.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the burritos. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or even in the microwave.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your burritos will taste. If you can, use fresh salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
  • Don't overfill the burritos: You want the burritos to be able to roll up easily without falling apart.
  • Cook the burritos until they're golden brown: This will help to seal in the flavors and prevent the burritos from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Bean and rice burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover beans and rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
