Filling
1 (14 ounce) can refried beans (I use fat free)
1 teaspoon chili powder or 1 teaspoon ground dried chile
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 -5 dashes garlic powder
hot sauce
1 cup hot cooked rice (I usually omit) (optional)
8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded or thinly sliced (I use low fat)
your favorite salsa
1 package flour tortilla (10-in. The recipe usually uses 5 tortillas the way I make it)
Toppings
Any or all of the following to taste
chopped tomato
shredded lettuce
sliced black olives
sliced scallion
sliced jalapeno
sour cream
guacamole

1
Place beans in microwave safe dish.
2
Stir in next 5 ingredients.
3
Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
4
Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
5
If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
6
Mix in rice, if using.
7
Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
8
Use the method you like best.
9
I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
10
Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
11
You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
12
I like to skip this step.
13
That's it!
14
These refrigerate well for a few days.
15
I can't speak for the freezer.
16
I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
17
Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
18
No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.
