Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 sprigs cilantro, if you like
- 1 can (8 ounces) refried beans
- 6 flour tortillas (6 to 8 inches across)
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Taco sauce or salsa, if you like
Instructions
-
Step1If you use the cilantro, rinse it in cool water. Pat dry with the paper towels. Cut cilantro into tiny pieces, using the scissors. Save for later (you will need this in step 4).
-
Step2Open the can of refried beans with the can opener. Put the beans in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring a few times with the wooden spoon, until beans are warm.
-
Step3Spread about 3 tablespoons of the beans over each tortilla, using the table knife, until beans are almost to the edges of the tortillas.
-
Step4Sprinkle the cheese evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over cheese.
-
Step5Fold 1 end of each tortilla up about 1 inch over filling. Fold the right and left sides over the folded end so the sides overlap. Fold the remaining end over.
-
Step6Cut each burrito in half, using the sharp knife. Serve with the taco sauce or salsa, if you like.
