Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 mins. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the beans, paprika and a splash of water. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough purée. Season generously.

  • step 2

    Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and scatter over the cheese and coriander. Spoon over the salsa, then top with the remaining tortillas to make 4 sandwiches. Wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper and return to the heat or heat a griddle pan. Cook each sandwich for 1-2 mins on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melting. Serve warm, cut into wedges, with extra salsa and soured cream for dipping.

RECIPE TIPS
BAKED CHEESY BEAN BURRITOS

Burritos are great for preparing ahead of

time and reheating to serve.

Make a double quantity of the beans,

divide between 4 tortillas and roll up. Sit

the rolls in a baking dish and scatter over

the cheese and salsa.

Bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for

15-20 mins until piping hot. Scatter with

coriander leaves just before serving.

Loved the recipe but you’ll need a couple to fill you and turning them was a NIGHTMARE. Going to try cutting tortillas in half then filling and turning that way. Tried some variations on filling too which were nice 👍

Really liked these. Added a teaspoon of chipotle paste, some yellow pepper and a fresh tomato deseeded and chopped to the onion. Didn't have any soured cream. Thanks to sonicyouth8 for the tip about filling half the tortilla and turning over. Worked like a charm :) filling was enough for 4…

Tasty filling, but nowhere near enough to fill four tortilla “sandwiches”. Barely fills two. Also, the tortillas are very difficult to handle, even when cooked, as the tortillas slide around over the filling, and it just makes a mess. I would like to make quesadillas again, but will seek an…

Simple and delicious! Just made it for 2 but kept all the ingredients the same except halved the amount of tortillas and made fresh salsa, very tasty! Also baked the quesadillas in the oven to melt the cheese instead of pan frying. Next time will try with red onion and red pepper added and smashed…

Yum yum! I used this as the retried beams for the chicken enchiladas. I chucked everything into the pan all together and then gently squished with a whisk. I then used it for the enchiladas and again chucked everything in and baked. Super scrum and kiddies liked it too.
