Bean and Cheese Burritos

Start to Finish: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
6 to 8 flour tortillas (7-8 inch)
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 can refried beans (16 ounces)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/3 bottle salsa
Dairy sour cream (optional)
Guacamole (optional)

Directions:
1) Stack tortillas and wrap tightly in foil. Heat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes to soften.
2) Meanwhile, for filling, in a skillet cook onion in hot oil until tender; add refried beans. Cook and stir until heated through. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto each tortilla just below center and to within 1 inch of the edge. Divide cheese among tortillas. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla up and over filling. Fold opposite sides in over filling. Roll up from the bottom. Place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until heated through. To serve, top with lettuce and salsa and, if desired, sour cream and guacamole.

Servings: 3-4

Notes: Like most cooking, this tastes much better than the store bought burritos. Very quick and easy to make.

Variations: They are burritos so you can add hot sauce, tomatoes, chicken, beef, really whatever you want inside.

Estimated Price: $6.00
