Refried Bean Burrito Food

REFRIED BEAN BURRITOS

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.

BEEF AND BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170 to 180 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions until softened. Then add the ground beef and cook until the beef is cooked through. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano and salt and stir to combine. Pour 2 cans of the Mexican tomato sauce into the meat and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Add a little water if the mixture gets too dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cheese, and stir it in till its melted. Remove from the heat.
• Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute, and then spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add a small amount of the meat. Fold over the ends of the tortilla, and then roll them up. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Then place them in a large baking dish, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven.
• When ready to serve, drizzle the remaining can of tomato sauce over all of the burritos and sprinkle with more grated Cheddar. Return to the oven for a couple of minutes just to melt the cheese.
• Sprinkle the tops with the cilantro leaves and serve immediately to the fork-bangers in your life. They'll kiss you and hug you. Repeatedly.

EASY BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, add the refried beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth. Spread about ¼ cup of the bean mixture on the tortilla in the center. Top with 2-3 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, then roll up, tucking in all the filling. Place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until beans are heated and cheese is melted. Let cool slightly then serve. Serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, hot sauce etc.

EASY REFRIED BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

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.

• Once butter has melted, add minced onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, give it a little stir, and cook for 1 minute.
• Add cooked (or drained and rinsed canned) pinto beans, chili powder, chipotle chili pepper, cumin, oregano, salt (see "Notes" below) and black pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute or so to get those spices going.
• Add vegetable broth and chopped green chilies, stirring to combine everything. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes to heat through.
• Turn off heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and juice of one lime. Mash until you've reached your desired consistency. Note: If you want the refried beans creamier, or feel that they are dry, mix in a little hot water (about 3 tablespoons at a time) until you've reached the consistency you like best.
• Once desired consistency has been reached, serve and enjoy. Refried beans are great in burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas and more. Yields about 4 cups of refried beans.Note: Properly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 4 days. Reheat before serving.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITO RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
• Add shallot, bell pepper, corn, chili powder, cumin and a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring every so often, for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender crisp. Add garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
• To assemble each burrito, layer refried beans in the centre of the tortilla (about 1/3 cup per burrito), about 1/4 cup of cooked rice on top, 1/2 of pepper mixture, a few slices of avocado and about 2 tablespoons of crumbled cheese per burrito.
• To fold the burritos: For each one, bring one side of the tortilla up over the ingredients (covering them), fold in each side, then begin to tightly roll the burrito (keeping everything tucked in as you roll, so it's compact). Alternatively, you can fold the burrito your favourite way. Serve and enjoy! This burrito is delicious served with your favourite chips and salsa (or enjoy the burrito as is).
• Optional (but delicious): Wipe out pan and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Place over medium heat. Add burritos to pan and warm for about 2 minutes per side.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITO RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the dried pinto beans under running water, and remove any stones or bad beans you see.
• Put the beans in a pressure cooker. Sprinkle on the seasonings - chili powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add in your beef bouillon too. Start filling the pressure cooker pot with water, while stirring to combine the seasonings and bouillon. Fill to the max capacity line.
• Put the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it down. Make sure the pressure valve is turned to sealed. Cook the beans in the pressure cooker for 85 minutes. I've seen recipes where there's less cooking time, but the 85 minute mark seems to work best for this recipe.
• When done, relieve the pressure, and once it's done spewing, open up the pressure cooker and drain the beans in a colander, reserving at least a cup of the bean juice.
• Now to make them refried. Place the pork lard or bacon grease into a large cast iron pan (any pan that is fine with a masher being brought to it is fine - so no teflon). Let it melt down, and then add the diced onions and garlic. At this point, it's up to your taste as to how long to cook the onions down. I like a bit of a bite, so I really only cook them for a few minutes, but if you want them more incorporated into the beans, cook them down until translucent.
• If you have an immersion blender, skip to the next step. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the beans to the pan. At this point, you're going to be cooking the beans, smashing them with a potato smasher, and adding the bean juice as necessary. As you smash the beans down, stir a bit as well, while also adding bean juice so that it's not a thick mess, but you also aren't worried about bean juice splashing everywhere. With all of this bean juice adding and bean smashing, you're looking for a nice refried bean consistency.
• If you hand mashed in the previous step, skip this step. For those with immersion blenders, take that bad boy, throw in the bean juice, and start working your magic. The immersion blender should break up the beans and blend the bean juice for you... just like magic. Pat yourself on the back, because you just saved yourself a lot of bean pressing time.
• Now that your beans are nice and mashed, it's time to start taste testing and adding more salt and pepper if needed.
• To make the burritos, heat the tortillas so they're more manageable - you can heat 3 of them at a time in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Spread about a cup or 2 of beans on the tortilla, a handful of cheese, and wrap up. We like ours big and fat, so we usually go with closer to 2 cups of beans... like White Bread says, one burrito can fill you up!
• If you're eating this for dinner and freezing some for later, serve what you're eating now and wrap the rest individually in plastic wrap and place in a large Ziploc bag. When reheating, remove plastic wrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes to warm throughout.

CHICKEN AND REFRIED BEANS BURRITOS

Steps:

• Trim breast and pound to 1/4 inch cutlets. Completely coat cutlets in a 50/50 mixture of Chili Powder and Cumin. In a large pre-heated oil-coated skillet, fry cutlets until cooked through over med-high heat. Let cutlets cool for 10-15 minutes then cut into bite-size strips.
• Heat Refried Beans over low heat while letting chicken cool and cutting vegetables.
• Dice tomato into bite-size pieces. Mince onion and jalapenos (seeded or not depending on your heat preference).
• When chicken is able to be handled comfortably and beans are heated through, you can begin assembly. Spread 1/4 of the refried beans on one side of tortilla leaving about a 1/2 to 1 inch of uncoated tortilla around the edges. Fill the center of bean coated tortilla with chicken, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and cheese. Roll up the tortilla into the shape of a burrito.
• In a large skillet (Preferably cast iron, but not necessary) preheated to medium and sprayed with PAM or lightly coated with butter, placed burritos in the pan with the folds face down. Cover and fry for about 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 more minutes while covered. Tortilla shell should become nicely toasted.
• Serve with Salsa and or Guacamole on the side. I also make some Spanish rice to go along with this dish as well. Enjoy!
