Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 tablespoon salsa
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Combine refried beans, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth.

Step 2
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture onto the center of a tortilla and smooth into a thin layer. Sprinkle with a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining bean mixture, tortillas, and cheese.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place a few burritos, seam-side down, into the skillet. Cook, turning every 30 seconds, until golden and crispy on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining burritos.

Cook’s Note:

You can use Cheddar cheese if you'd like.

    Very easy and tasty to make! These would very simple to dress up with added ingredients- FYI, they’re really just chimichangas. You could add saut?ed onions, peppers, guac, top with sour cream…lots of possibilities!
