Tex Mex
Bean and Cheese Burrito
Bean and Cheese Burrito is Tex Mex home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 16 oz canned refried beans
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Warm the refried beans in a pot with the cumin and salt until spreadable.
- Warm the flour tortillas so they fold without cracking.
- Spread beans down the center of each tortilla and top with rice, cheddar, and salsa.
- Fold in the sides and roll each into a tight burrito.
- Sear the burritos seam-side down in the oiled skillet until golden and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side.
- Serve warm with sour cream.
