Ingredients:
- 7 flour tortillas
- 32 oz vegetarian refried beans
- 4 oz green chilies
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 8 oz cheddar cheese
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C). This ensures that it’s ready to bake your scrumptious burritos to perfection.
-
Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetarian refried beans, green chilies, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a flavorful filling for your burritos.
-
Assemble Burritos: Spoon approximately 4 ounces of the bean filling into the center of each flour tortilla. Top the filling with a generous tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese, adding that irresistible gooeyness to each bite.
-
Fold and Seal: Fold in the ends of the tortilla, then fold over the sides, ensuring that the filling is securely wrapped inside. This step helps prevent any delicious fillings from escaping during baking.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the assembled burritos seam side down on baking sheets that have been lightly sprayed with vegetable oil spray. This prevents sticking and ensures a beautifully golden exterior.
-
Bake to Perfection: Transfer the baking sheets to the preheated oven and bake the burritos for 20–25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is wonderfully melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the burritos from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream, and enjoy the flavorful goodness of these Cheese and Bean Burritos!
