Recipes

Quick Bean & Cheese Burritos

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Santiago Vegetarian Refried Pinto Beans
• 4 large flour tortillas (10″)
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
• ¼ cup diced onion (optional)
• Hot sauce to taste

Steps:

1. Warm the refried beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
2. Lay a flour tortilla flat. Spread roughly ½ cup of warm beans down the center.
3. Top with shredded cheese, diced onion, and hot sauce if desired.
4. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
5. Place seam-side down on a heated skillet over medium heat. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve immediately. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
