Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the refried beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until beans are warm. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Place a tortilla on a work surface. Spread ⅓ cup of beans in the center of the tortilla. Top with ¼ cup shredded cheese.

Step 3

Fold the sides, 1 to 2 inches inwards. This will prevent the filling from falling out of the bottom of your burrito as you eat it. Next, fold the bottom over so it completely covers the filling.

Step 4

Starting with the bottom flap that’s covering the filling, roll the burrito, tucking the flap firmly inwards as you roll to secure the fillings. Continue rolling until your burrito is seam side down.

Step 5

Continue making burritos with remaining ingredients.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the burritos seam side down in the pan and heat for a few minutes on each side until the outside is slightly crisp and the burritos are warm.

Step 7

Alternatively, you can wrap the burritos in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are warm all the way through and slightly crisp on the outside.

Step 8

Serve warm with desired toppings.

Chef’s notes

Burritos freeze really well and are a dinner lifesaver. We always make extra to keep in the freezer.

To Freeze:

Let the bean filling come to room temperature so the burritos don’t get soggy. After you’ve added the beans and cheese, tightly roll up the burrito and wrap in foil. Store the burritos in a freezer bag or freezer container and freeze for up to 6 months.

To Reheat in Oven:

Remove burritos from the freezer and place on a baking sheet (keep the burritos in the foil). Heat in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until heated through. Unwrap and serve.

To Reheat in Microwave:

Remove the burritos from the freezer and remove the foil. Place burrito on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 1 minute. Flip the burrito over and heat for an additional minute. If the burrito is still cold, heat for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until heated through. Serve immediately.

To Reheat in Air Fryer:

Place burrito (still wrapped in foil) in the air-fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes, flipping once. Unwrap and serve.
