Description
Homemade cheesy bean burrito brings Mexican comfort straight to kitchen tables. Warm tortillas cradle spicy beans and melted cheese, promising a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 flour tortillas, 9-inch
- 2 cups Mexican cheese blend
- 1 can (16 oz / 454 g) refried beans
- 2.67 cups (approximately 3 cups when prepared) Spanish rice
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Whisk jalapeno cream sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl until silky smooth, ensuring complete blending of flavors.
- Tortilla Layering: Center a flour tortilla and spread warm refried beans across the middle, creating a robust foundation for the burrito.
- Filling Assembly: Distribute seasoned Spanish rice evenly over beans, then generously scatter Mexican cheese blend to enhance texture and taste.
- Flavor Enhancement: Drizzle jalapeno cream sauce across the filling, infusing the burrito with zesty, creamy notes.
- Wrapping Technique: Fold tortilla’s bottom edge over ingredients, tightly roll sides inward to form a compact, sealed package that prevents filling from escaping.
- Cooking Process: Preheat a non-stick skillet on medium heat, place burrito seam-side down, and grill each side for 2-3 minutes, rotating to achieve a uniformly crisp, golden-brown exterior that delivers a satisfying crunch and melts the cheese to perfection.
Notes
- Warm Tortillas First: Slightly heat tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking and enhance pliability, making rolling easier and more seamless.
- Cheese Distribution Matters: Spread cheese evenly across rice to guarantee consistent melting and prevent dry or cheese-less bites.
- Control Sauce Drizzling: Add jalapeno cream sauce sparingly to maintain burrito structural integrity and avoid soggy outcomes.
- Perfect Sealing Technique: Fold bottom edge tightly first, then fold sides inward with firm pressure to create a secure, leak-proof burrito seal.
