Bean and Cheese Burrito

This is the burrito you make when you don't feel like cooking but still want something hot and filling. Canned refried beans and shredded cheese get rolled into a large tortilla, then the whole thing gets crisped in a dry pan until the outside is golden and the inside is melty. It's a solid lunch for tracking macros since the beans bring fiber and protein and you control exactly how much cheese goes in, and it comes together in about 10 minutes with almost no cleanup.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Scoop the refried beans into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds, until warm and easy to spread. 0:45
  2. Spread the warm beans down the center of the tortilla and sprinkle the cheese on top.
  3. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly into a burrito.
  4. Place the burrito seam-side down in a dry nonstick pan over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. 4:00
  5. Let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve.
