BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS



Bean and Cheese Burritos image

Mexican refried beans are a cinch to make at home on a weeknight thanks to some staple pantry items and a few basic fresh ingredients. Buttery canned pinto beans are perfect in this dish, breaking down into a creamy, silky mixture. (Black beans would also work great.) While the beans are often fried in lard or bacon drippings, this vegetarian version builds flavor with caramelized onion, bell pepper, garlic and smoked paprika instead. Pico de gallo adds a touch of tang to counter the rich beans. Pan-frying the wrapped burritos guarantees a golden, irresistibly crispy exterior and an interior that oozes with melted cheese.

Time 40m

Yield 6 burritos

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup safflower or canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1/2 medium onion)
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (from 1/2 pepper)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, 1/2 cup of bean liquid reserved and the rest drained
1/2 cup store-bought or homemade pico de gallo or salsa
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 (9- to 10-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar
Sour cream and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add pinto beans, pico de gallo, smoked paprika, reserved bean liquid and 1/2 cup of water, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing occasionally with a potato masher or the back of a spoon, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer refried beans to a bowl, and wipe out skillet.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the refried beans in the center of each tortilla and top each with 1/3 cup of the cheese. Fold the short sides of the tortilla over the filling; fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling and tightly roll.
  • In the skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Add 3 burritos seam side down and cook until golden, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 3 burritos. Serve warm with sour cream and hot sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Beans: Use high-quality dried beans or canned beans that are rinsed and drained. Pinto, black, or kidney beans are popular choices for burritos.
  • Cook the Beans Properly: If using dried beans, soak them overnight and then simmer them until tender. Canned beans can be used directly, but rinsing and draining them removes excess sodium.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Dice onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro finely to add flavor and texture to the burritos.
  • Season the Bean Mixture Generously: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful bean filling.
  • Choose the Right Cheese: Mexican cheese blend, cheddar cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese are all great options for bean and cheese burritos.
  • Use a Large Tortilla: Burrito tortillas should be large enough to wrap around the filling without breaking. Look for tortillas that are about 10 inches in diameter.
  • Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle before filling them. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear.
  • Fill the Burritos Generously: Don't be shy with the filling! Add a generous amount of beans, cheese, and vegetables to each burrito.
  • Fold the Burritos Tightly: Fold the burritos tightly to prevent the filling from falling out. Start by folding the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold the sides in, and finally roll up the burrito from the bottom.
  • Serve the Burritos with Toppings: Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Bean and cheese burritos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
