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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, stir together the refried beans, brown rice, salsa, chilies, corn, and 1 cup cheese. If adding chicken to half, move 3 cups of the mix to a separate medium bowl, add the chicken, and stir. If making a vegan filling (without cheese), add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
- If the tortillas don't seem pliable (likely to rip when you bend/roll them), place tortillas on a large plate and cover with a damp dishtowel. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to steam the tortillas.
- One at a time, lay the tortillas flat and place 1/3 cup filling just below the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla so that they nearly touch, then bring up the bottom of the tortilla, pulling the contents tight, rolling the burrito from the bottom upl, and keeping the sides tucked as you go. For more guidance, here's a terrific piece from The Kitchn on how to roll a burrito.
- Lay the burritos side by side in a 9-inch x 13-inch pan (or, if you're making a meaty version and a vegetarian version, keep them segregated by using two 8-inch by 8-inch pans).
- Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the top (omit for vegan version) and bake for about 20 minutes, until heated through, cheese is melted, and they're starting to turn golden brown. Serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, ripe vegetables and flavorful spices to elevate the taste of your refried bean burritos.
- Cook the beans properly: Whether using canned or dried beans, ensure they are cooked until tender and creamy. For dried beans, soak them overnight before cooking.
- Mash the beans thoroughly: Use a potato masher or food processor to achieve a smooth and creamy refried bean filling.
- Season the beans well: Add a generous amount of spices and seasonings to the refried beans, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder, to create a flavorful base for your burritos.
- Use a variety of toppings: Experiment with different toppings to add texture, flavor, and color to your burritos. Consider options such as shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
- Warm the tortillas: Before filling and rolling the burritos, warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable and prevent cracking.
- Fold the burritos tightly: When folding the burritos, tuck in the sides to prevent the filling from spilling out while cooking.
- Cook the burritos until golden brown: Pan-fry or bake the burritos until they are crispy and golden brown, ensuring the filling is heated through.
Conclusion:
With proper preparation, using high-quality ingredients, and attention to detail, you can create mouthwatering refried bean burritos that will satisfy your cravings and impress your family and friends. Experiment with different toppings and fillings to find your favorite combinations and enjoy a delicious and versatile meal that's perfect for any occasion.
