Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the refried beans to the skillet with the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the beans are heated through.
Season the bean mixture with salt and pepper. Stir well and remove from heat, allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
Lay out each flour tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the refried bean mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle equal parts of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the bean mixture in each tortilla.
Drizzle a spoonful of salsa over the cheese and bean layer.
Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled burritos seam-side down on the skillet to prevent them from unraveling.
Cook the burritos for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
Serve the burritos immediately with extra salsa or your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, or lettuce.
