Bean Burrito Recipe

bean burrito
Here is a quick and easy way to make your basic bean and cheese burrito. I haven’t cooked a lot of Mexican food or really posted many Mexican recipes on here but I’m going to change that. This was actually my first time making burritos and they turned out great. I thought the wrapping process might be a little complicated but it was actually quite easy, even though I’m certainly no expert. I was thinking about adding either beef or chicken but I decided not to, maybe next time. If you would like to add chicken or beef go for it! Making these burritos will take hardly no time at all as the oven does most of the work. Just mix the ingredients, wrap, place in the oven and you’re done.

    Some cilantro grilled flank steak would go great in those burritos :) . You just inspired me to try and create burritos on the grill. We have been experimenting with the VillaWare pizza grill and recently made quesadillas. I think it would work great with your burrito recipe as well and give a nice toasted layer to the burritos, just have to flip them once during grilling.

    Anyways, thanks for the inspiration, once again. Keep up the great work on the photos as well.

    A few days ago I made one of your recipes, rather it was two recipes combined in one and it was great. I am glad that now I shall start cooking Mexican from your recipes. I am sure they will be great.

    Your food always looks so appetizing. I totally LOVE your blog! I would love to have these tonight but alas I have to wait for an evening when Grumpy won’t be eating with me. However, I have not forgotten about your pepper chicken recipe and Grumpy will love it I just know it. Hoping I can make it some time this week! :)

    This sounds really good–and not as hard I would think a burrito would be to make from scratch (that rolling thing!)I’ll probably add chicken to mine–thanks for the recipe!

    Thank you again – I made the bean burritos today, I never made a bean burrito before – I cant believe how easy and very good they were. I would not change a thing. I think my favorite part is I presented just like you did in the picture ( a little lettuce and a sprinkle of tomatoes ) – very nice! :)

    I made this using

    Fantastic Foods instant fat-free refried beans,
    Brown Minute Rice seasoned with salt-free taco seasoning,
    Homemade salt-free salsa,
    Reduced fat shredded Mexican-blend cheese,
    and topped it with the tomatoes and fat-free sour cream.

    It was VERY delicious! I’ll definitely be making this recipe again.

    My 2 year old daughter loves to help me cook. We made the burritos tonight for ‘Cinco de Mayo’. This is a simple and wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing!

  13. Allison on August 16th, 2009

    Simple and great! As a college student I’m always looking for easy meals and this one was perfect for my budget and time. I used mission whole wheat wraps and brown rice and loved it! I am definitely going to be making this again very soon.

  14. Tatiana on October 10th, 2009

    Making this right now with white corn and black bean salsa!
