Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
Stir in the refried beans, ground cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the beans are warmed through and seasoned evenly.
Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds each to make them pliable.
Spread 1/2 cup of the seasoned refried beans down the center of each tortilla.
Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup of rice, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of salsa, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for extra flavor.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form the burrito shape.
Optionally, toast the finished burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side for a crisp exterior.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a portable meal.
