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 QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 mins. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the beans, paprika and a splash of water. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough purée. Season generously.
• Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and scatter over the cheese and coriander. Spoon over the salsa, then top with the remaining tortillas to make 4 sandwiches. Wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper and return to the heat or heat a griddle pan. Cook each sandwich for 1-2 mins on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melting. Serve warm, cut into wedges, with extra salsa and soured cream for dipping.

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.

RICE & BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat the rice following the pack instructions, then stir in the Cajun seasoning and most of the spring onions.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the tortillas with the refried beans, then top with rice. Spread half the salsa on the base of a baking dish. Roll up the wraps, arrange on top of the salsa, dot over half the yogurt and sprinkle over the cheese. Cook for 30 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve sprinkled with the rest of the spring onions, with the remaining yogurt and salsa on the side.
