Ingredients
2 Whole Wheat Tortillas
1 Cup of Cooked Re-Fried Beans, Mashed
½ Cup of Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
¼ Cup of Salsa (Store-bought or homemade)
½ Red Onions, Finely Chopped
Few Jalapenos, Chopped
Few Black Olives, Chopped, optional
Salt to taste
To make Refried Beans
2 Cups of Dried Pinto Beans or use kidney beans (Rajma)
2 Cloves of Garlic
½ Onion (Big)
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Chipotle Chilly
7 Cups of Water
1 Tsp of Salt
Instructions
First is the making of refried beans ( frijoles refritos in spanish ). Soak the beans in water for overnight. Cooking from the scratch, mildly seasoned with couple garlic cloves and a piece of onion, salt and pinto beans was fried in oil, then add water and wait for rolling boil temperature. Later this was transferred to cooker and leave it for 10 whistles or if you are using crock pot (slow cooker) and set in high and cook it for 4 hrs. 1 Chipotle chilly can be added for extra smoky spicy kick. Once it done, take the required beans and grind it in blender.
Heat the pan with little oil, add the ground beans then fry it for 10 mins. Allow it to cool for few mins. Your re-fried beans are ready.
Assembling
Place the tortilla on a large microwavable plate. Microwave it for 30 secs to steam the tortillas.
Spoon the required bean mixture onto center of each tortilla.
On top of that add salsa, onions, black olives and jalapenos. If you have sour cream or guacamole add that too.
Sprinkle some cheese on top and fold the two sides of the tortilla and serve immediately with extra salsa, if desired.
Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the tortilla.
Homemade refried bean cheese burrito is ready to eat.
Notes
If you dont get pinto beans in your place, use rajma also called kidney beans or black beans or chickpeas. If you are using canned beans, just grind it and saute it in oil for few mins then use it. Some canned beans are not cooked well so pressure cook it few whistles before you eat, this is done to avoid stomach disturbances. You can use any kind of cheese to sprinkle on top. For some more flavor add sour cream or guacamole, lettuce and green onion. You can also add rice, if you are going to have burritto for lunch. Here I used whole wheat tortilla, you can use flour tortilla or corn tortilla or even chapathi.
