Crispy Bean and Cheese Burritos

can refried beans

Tablespoon salsa

chili powder

garlic powder

cumin

shredded Mexican blend cheese (, or cheddar cheese)

flour tortillas

salsa (, for dipping)

Add the refried beans, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder and cumin to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth.

Spoon about three tablespoons of the bean mixture onto the center of a flour tortilla and smooth into a thin layer.&nbsp;

Sprinkle with a large pinch of shredded cheese. Roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Place a few burritos, seam side down, into the pan.

Turn them every 30 seconds or so as they cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides.

Serve warm, with homemade five-minute salsa and guacamole, for dipping.

These Smothered Burritos are filled with shredded chicken, cheese and spices, baked until crispy, and then smothered in the best homemade green chile sauce.

Smothered Green Chile Chicken Burritos

chicken

salsa (, your favorite kind)

oregano leaves (, crushed)

cheddar cheese

green onions (, chopped)

flour

olive oil (,

Tablespoons butter

Tablespoons all-purpose flour

garlic (, minced)

chicken broth

salt and black pepper (, to taste)

green chilies

sour cream

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Make the filling: Mix chicken, salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and onions. Place a heaping 1/2 cup or so of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll up tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or spray with non stick cooking spray.

Bake at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Make the sauce: Meanwhile, prepare sauce by melting butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in chicken broth. Add cumin, oregano, and a dash of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in green chilies, cheese and sour cream. Tastes and add more seasonings if needed.

Broil: Remove burritos from oven and turn the oven to HIGH broil. Ladle a spoonful of sauce over each burrito and top with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese has melted.

Serve with Authentic Mexican Rice!
