Burritos

entree
  • 1 can Amy's low-salt refried beans (mild spice)
  • optional: minced garlic and/or onion sauteed briefly in olive oil
  • optional: any vegetable that works (zucchini...)
  • optional: cooked beef or chicken
  • cooked rice
  • flour tortillas
  • 1 can low-salt Mexican tomato sauce
  • OR canned tomatoes pureed with a little hot red pepper flakes, onion, oregano, garlic, and lime juice
  • grated Cabot 50% fat mild cheddar, or Monterey Jack
  1. Microwave tortillas, covered, for 20 seconds to soften them.
  2. Spoon some salsa into a baking dish that is a little less wide than the tortillas.
  3. Put a tortilla on a plate, spread some of the beans in a stripe in the center, add any optional fillings, and rice. To fold, fold about 2 inches of the top and bottom towards the center, and then fold the sides towards the center. Place in the baking dish and repeat until the dish is full.
  4. Pour lots of sauce over the burritos and top with cheese. Bake at 350 about 20 minutes, until bubbly hot.
