Hearty Bean Burritos Recipes

Steps:

• Place beans in microwave safe dish.
• Stir in next 5 ingredients.
• Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
• Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
• If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
• Mix in rice, if using.
• Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
• Use the method you like best.
• I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
• Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
• You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
• I like to skip this step.
• That's it!
• These refrigerate well for a few days.
• I can't speak for the freezer.
• I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
• Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
• No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.
