Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1½ cups refried beans (substitute 15 oz canned refried beans)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- ¼ cup sour cream (substitute Greek yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for toasting, substitute butter)
Instructions
- Heat the beans: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine refried beans and taco seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and creamy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Warm the rice: If using cold rice, warm it in the microwave or in a small pan with a splash of water until heated through.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Divide warm beans evenly among tortillas, spreading down the center of each. Top evenly with rice, salsa, cheese, and a spoonful of sour cream.
- Fold the burritos: Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to form burritos.
- Toast the burritos: Heat oil or butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Serve hot with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole!
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier alternative.
- Substitute olive oil with butter for a richer flavor when toasting.
- For a lower calorie option, use low-fat cheese and sour cream.
- Make sure tortillas are fresh and flexible to avoid tearing when rolling.
- To save time, use leftover rice and warmed beans.
