• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tablespoon salsa

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine refried beans, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth.

Step 2

Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture onto the center of a tortilla and smooth into a thin layer. Sprinkle with a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining bean mixture, tortillas, and cheese.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place a few burritos, seam-side down, into the skillet. Cook, turning every 30 seconds, until golden and crispy on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining burritos.
