I altered this recipe to my liking. I used whole wheat "plus" mission tortillas (the brand name) & i used gerbhardt refried beans, they dont have alot of additives, just beans, water & salt. I put a touch of olive oil in a frying pan and added the beans, med-hi heat and add a dash of cumin and salt. I also would never use american cheese, i agree with others that it is not right for this. I added onions, cheddar & sour cream. I served with Fresh tomato salsa i found here.

Quick, easy, and tasty. I could not imagine using American cheese with a burrito, however so used shredded 4-cheese Mexican blend. I sauteed some green onion in the saucepan before adding the can of refried beans to heat. Also added a tiny bit of lime juice to freshen up the flavor and I ate the burrito with picante sauce. Lots of flavor and I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch!

I like my spicier so I used canned Mexican Style Chili beans and mashed them with a handblender. Topped with Shredded cheddar cheese and medium salsa then wrapped them up and browned it in a frying pan for a more crisp tortilla. This was excellent. Next time I may even add freshly chopped onions.

This was pretty good! I did what another user suggested and added some sour cream and lettuce. I also had some packets of Taco Bell mild sauce lying around and put a little of that in before I wrapped it. I lightly toasted the tortilla too, so it gave it a nice flavor.

This recipe was very good. However, I made the following adjustment to it. First, I warmed up the refried beans and added a tbs of salsa, garlic powder and 1/4 of pinto beans. I also sauteed onions and green peppers and cut up tomatoes. Then I piled up the burritos as follow... beans, sauteed onions and green peppers, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and salsa. Wrap up the burrito and placed them on a greased pan for about 12minutes. My family loved these burritos. I served them with spanish rice. This was so good, my family requested it again the next night.

Very good! My husband and kids loved it. First time I made it as described. Second time I made a few changes. First, I added canned, drained black beans, as well as the refried beans. I also used shredded chedder. Finally, I did not heat the burrito on the stove. Instead, I wrapped each burrito and then tightly placed them in a shallow baking dish. Baked them in a preheated 300 degree F. oven for about 12 minutes. Served with salsa and sour cream. Excellent!! Try adding fried onions for the adults.

AWFUL! Am I the only one that thinks American Cheese isn't a real cheese? Especially not one that is used in mexican dishes. Once I took the cheese out of it and added onion, bell pepper, cumin, corriander, chili powder, garlic, black olives, black beans, chopped tomato and some avacado I had my standard burrito which my 6 year old said was WAY better...betterer a million T-rexes big than this one.

This was a good start for me, but I had to change it up just a bit. First I made at least double this recipe. I sauteed some onion (about half to 3/4 of a small onion) then added that to the refried beans along with some cumin & chili powder to taste. I also added about a half can of pinto beans to give it more texture. I heated the beans through. Instead of American cheese I used shredded colby jack. I rolled the beans & cheese in a warmed flour tortilla. I added sour cream on top of mine. My husband added salsa on his. They turned out quite good!! Served it with Mexican rice. Good base recipe!

I didn't even have to see a recipe to know that this is a good meal. I have been making similar burritos for a long time. I use grated sharp cheddar, and chopped onions in addition to the suggested salsa and sour cream. Amounts are very flexible, which is why this such a quick meal.

The burritos were good, but a bit bland for my taste. They were definitely missing something - maybe some chili sauce on top? Mmmm...

This is one thing my son and I definitely agree on. I love refried beans and I love even more that my son will eat them. I left out the sour cream, hot sauce & peppers for his sake, but it was still good. Sometimes when I don't have shredded cheddar, I just use a slice of Kraft singles and it works out just fine. Usually he can't tell the difference. Thanks for a simple but kid friendly recipe Brooke.
