5-INGREDIENT COPYCAT TACO BELL BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• PREHEAT the oven to 225° F. Put a casserole dish in the oven.
• OPEN the can of refried beans and pour them in a saucepan on the stove over medium-low heat.
• ADD 1 cup of water (or cream) to the beans. Stir. Place the lid on the saucepan and heat the beans until they begin to simmer. Stir until the liquid is incorporated. Replace the lid and heat on low for 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and set it aside. The beans need to cool for 5 minutes, so the burritos are not too hot to roll.
• PEEL and DICE the onion.
• SHRED the cheese.
• OPEN the taco sauce.
• WARM the tortillas. Heat a skillet on the stove over medium heat. When the skillet is warm, add a tortilla and heat for 15 to 20 seconds. Flip it over and heat for another 10 to 15 seconds, or until warm. Repeat with all the tortillas.
• SET UP the burrito assembly station. Line up the warm tortillas, the hot beans, the onions, the taco sauce, and the cheese.
• MAKE EACH BURRITO. Smear 2 tablespoons of refried beans down the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of minced onions on the beans, followed by 2 teaspoons of taco sauce and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.
• ROLL THE BURRITO. Fold in the sides of the tortilla that are perpendicular to the line of ingredients to prevent anything from falling out of the burrito. Next, roll the right side of the tortilla over the bean mixture until the burrito is rolled and secured. Place in the heated casserole dish in the oven.
• REPEAT with all the burritos.
• HEAT in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
• SERVE with extra taco sauce.
