Cheese Burritos Recipes

BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, bring rice and broth to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes; fluff rice with a fork. Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, warm beans and cup water over low, stirring occasionally. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm, about 10 minutes.
• To assemble, divide beans, sour cream, rice, cheese, lettuce, and salsa among tortillas. For each tortilla, fold side closest to you over filling, then fold right and left sides toward center; tightly roll up burrito. Serve topped with more sour cream and salsa if desired.

CHILI CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine chili, green chilies, taco seasoning, rice, and water in a medium sized pot.
• Heat uncovered over low heat about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking to bottom of pan. Near the end of cooking time, you will have to stir nearly constantly as the chili will have cooked down to a nice thick consistency.
• Taste and make sure rice is cooked to your preferred softness and check thickness of chili to be sure it will stay in a tortilla.
• Warm tortillas for several seconds in microwave, spread several tablespoons of chili mixture in center of tortillas, add cheese, salsa, and sour cream to taste, and fold into burrito.
• Serve with chips and salsa or green salad.

CHEESE AND BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
• Prepare filling by mixing refried beans, chilies, cumin and garlic together in a bowl.
• Spoon approximately 4 ounces bean filling into the center of each tortilla and top with about one tablespoon of cheese.
• Fold in ends and then sides.
• Place burritos seam side down on baking sheets that have been sprayed with vegetable oil spray.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

BREAKFAST BURRITOS WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Wrap the flour tortillas in paper towels and microwave them for 1 minute to make them pliable. Set them aside.
• Crumble the sausage finely into a large skillet over a medium heat and cook until brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the butter to a large nonstick skillet over a medium heat. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the salt and pepper. When the butter has melted, turn the heat to low and pour in the eggs, then the sausage. Slowly cook the mixture, using a wooden spatula to push it around the skillet, until the eggs are totally cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place approximately 1/2 cup of the egg and sausage mixture into a warm tortilla, along with a pinch of cheese. Roll up (do not tuck in the ends). Wrap in a foil square and keep warm until ready to serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

CRISPY BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

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

BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add pinto beans, pico de gallo, smoked paprika, reserved bean liquid and 1/2 cup of water, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing occasionally with a potato masher or the back of a spoon, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer refried beans to a bowl, and wipe out skillet.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the refried beans in the center of each tortilla and top each with 1/3 cup of the cheese. Fold the short sides of the tortilla over the filling; fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling and tightly roll.
• In the skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Add 3 burritos seam side down and cook until golden, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 3 burritos. Serve warm with sour cream and hot sauce on the side.
