Classic Bean Burritos

Submitted by Billikers

"These Mexican-American "roll-ups" differ from tacos primarily because flour rather than corn tortillas are used."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 8 flour tortillas
• 4 cups refried beans
• 1⁄2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1⁄2 cup minced onion
• minced jalapenos or other fresh chili pepper
• sour cream (optional)
• minced scallions (optional) or snipped fresh chives (optional)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350*F.
2. Divide tortillas into 2 batches and wrap in aluminum foil. Warm in oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lay the tortillas flat on a work surface. Spoon beans, cheddar, onions and peppers down the middle of each, dividing evenly and leaving a margin of about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom edge.
3. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then roll it from one side into a cylinder. Place the burritos on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve at once. If desired, garnish with sour cream and scallions (or chives).
