Ingredients

  • 1 (16-oz) can BUSH’S® Traditional Refried Beans
  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa
  • 1/4 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas (often referred to as “burrito-sized”)

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add refried beans, salsa, onions, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Taste and season with more salt if desired.
  • In another medium bowl, add shredded cheddar cheese and monterey jack cheese. Toss together to combine.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Then spread 1/2 cup of the bean mixture on top of the shredded cheese.
  • Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up and over the filling. Then fold in the sides and finish by rolling the tortilla up from the bottom.
  • Transfer the burritos to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and your favorite hot sauce.

Notes

  • Tortillas - You can make your own flour tortillas, or you can use your favorite store-bought variety. Just make sure they're 10-inches in diameter, aka "burrito-sized."
  • Cheese - I used a mixture of 1/2 shredded cheddar and 1/2 Monterey jack. You can use only one kind if you prefer, but I love the flavor of both mixed together!
  • Don't feel like turning on the oven? You can toast the burritos on the stovetop instead! Simply heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the burritos seam side down in the skillet and cook on both sides until toasted and heated through.
