Stupid cooking question of the day... how to make bean burritos?

[BikeBookBread]

Okay, this may sound ridiculous, but I've never made homemade bean burritos.

 

Do I fill the tortillas with the beans cheese and rice and then warm them?

 

or

 

Warm tortillas, fill with warm ingredients?

 

or

 

Other?

Warm tortillas, fill with warm ingredients is what I usually do.

I warm the tortillas, fill with warm beans and then all the other goodies (cheese, rice, sour cream, salsa, guac, etc). Then I wrap it up and throw it onto a hot frying pan for a half a minute or so on each side. Yummy:)

Warm tortillas, fill with warm ingredients is what I usually do.

 

This is what I do.

I just micro the tortillas for about 30 sec and then fill with hot refried beans, guacamole, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, sliced olives, chopped onion and shredded cheese. I like my burritos loaded! :D

We don't even warm the tortillas. We heat refried beans, make a meat, put various things in different bowls (onions, tomatoes, green peppers, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc), put it all on the table and everyone makes their own.

Put out ingredients, let everyone build their own, microwave each for about a minute. Chaos, but delicious. We usually have beans, meat, corn, tomatoes, sometimes mushrooms, peppers, cheese, salsa, guac, etc. - not all at once! A nice lunch option. Try Trader Joe's whole wheat tortillas. Yum!

hugs to you for wondering and woo hoo, because tortillas are so easy and fun to stuff, and great to do ahead of time for picnics, and can cut in half and share with younger ones!

 

We like to premicrowave the tortillas to give flexibility

 

take the beans and add to the meat (I also have cut up diced pots to stretch it more) and I add taco seasonings or chipotle seasons to taste!

 

heat that mixture on the stove in pan

 

and then make burrito by

laying tortilla flat

 

put a strip of the meat mixture down the middle but still leaving an edge on the edge. This is to help make a close on each top and bottom

 

I then flip the top and bottom over the meat mixture

then roll from the bottom to make a long skinny burrito!!

 

I make them smaller for the little ones who sometimes aren't good at holding the bottom.

 

Have fun, and enjoy!

mucho bueno!!
