BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS
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.

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:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you begin cooking, measure and chop all your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process smoother.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow you to easily cook all of the ingredients in one pan. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the ingredients in batches.
- Season your rice: Before cooking the rice, be sure to season it with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the rice.
- Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your burritos. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack.
- Don't overstuff your burritos: When you're assembling your burritos, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to roll and eat.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Once your burritos are cooked, serve them with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo.
