Prepare Beans: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of lard over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the diced tomato and 1 cup of pinto beans.
Mash Beans: Using a potato masher or fork, mash the beans and tomato mixture until smooth and creamy. Add another cup of beans and continue mashing, adding more lard as needed, until all the beans are mashed and heated through.
Season: Season the refried beans with garlic salt to taste, stirring well to incorporate the seasoning.
Assemble Burritos: Spoon a generous amount of the refried beans onto each warmed tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to form burritos.
Bake: Place the rolled burritos in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle grated Monterey Jack cheese over the top of each burrito. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove the burritos from the oven and serve them hot with your favorite burrito sauce on the side.
