Easy, Foolproof, Flavor-Packed Burritos
This Latin American classic is a super easy weeknight meal, and is perfect to make in large batches.
Ingredients
- 1 Package Burrito Flour Tortillas Eight per package
- 3 Cans Pinto Beans Blended until smooth
- 2 Cloves garlic Minced
- 1/2 Onion diced
- 2 Tbs Nutritional Yeast Seasoning of Choice
- 1 pinch Ground Cayenne
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin
- 8 Oz Mexican Cheese
- Canola Oil Enough to coat pan or griddle
Instructions
- Make your sofrito by heating a pan lightly coated in oil over medium high, and adding garlic and onion. Cook until transparent and add your seasoning.
- Add blended pinto beans to the sofrito and correct your seasoning. Add salt, cumin, more seasoning, and a pinch of cayenne, until you reach a rich flavor to your beans.
- Create an assembly line with your tortillas, cheese and beans. Heat your griddle to 400 degrees, or your pan to medium-high heat. Add oil as it is heating.
- Grab a tortilla, spoon on some beans in the middle of the tortilla and add a generous amount of cheese. Wrap your burrito and add it to the griddle. Flip burritos once they have browned a little (about two minutes per side). Repeat this process for the rest of your burritos.
- Serve warm, top with salsa and sour cream, pair with rice and salad and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can be very easily modified to add protein. We put left over taco meat or rotisserie chicken in our burritos sometimes by simply heating up leftover proteins, and seasoning with a little chili powder and lime, and then adding those to the rest of the burrito.
