Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups refried beans
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the refried beans, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the spices.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the bean mixture and stir until the cheese is evenly distributed.
Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean workspace. Spread about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1-2 inches of space at the edges to make rolling easier.
Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a burrito. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking (approximately 350°F/175°C).
Carefully place the burritos seam-side down into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each burrito for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy all around.
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the crispy burritos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Enjoy!
