Best Pinto Beans For Burritos Recipes

BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add pinto beans, pico de gallo, smoked paprika, reserved bean liquid and 1/2 cup of water, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing occasionally with a potato masher or the back of a spoon, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer refried beans to a bowl, and wipe out skillet.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the refried beans in the center of each tortilla and top each with 1/3 cup of the cheese. Fold the short sides of the tortilla over the filling; fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling and tightly roll.
• In the skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Add 3 burritos seam side down and cook until golden, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 3 burritos. Serve warm with sour cream and hot sauce on the side.

FLORIDANATIVE'S PINTO BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large sauce pan over medium heat, saute onion and garlic in oil until soft.
• Add beans, chilies and seasonings. Mix and mash the beans somewhat to the desired consistency.
• Remove from heat; spread beans, cheese and salsa in the middle of each tortilla. (I use about 2/3 cup beans and about 1/4 cup cheese per tortilla so they roll up nicely).
• Roll up tortillas and place in 7 x 11 or 9 x 13 ovenproof casserole dish, lightly sprayed with oil.
• Cover with foil and bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Serve.
• NOTE: I put additional salsa and cheese on top before baking ~ we like our burritos extra cheesy!

PINTO BEANS FOR MAKE YOUR OWN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Sort beans to make sure there are no small rocks.
• Place beans in large pan and fill with water to within a few inches of the top. Soak beans overnight, or bring to a boil and let sit, covered, off heat for one hour. Drain and rinse beans.
• Refill pot with water. There should be about 3 cups of water per each cup of beans.
• Add bacon grease, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Turn down to simmer and cook about 4-5 hours, or until beans are fairly tender.
• Add remaining ingredients, cover and bring to a boil again. Then turn down to simmer and cook one more hour. Adjust spices to your liking.
• Once beans are tender, you can remove the lid and continue cooking to make the beans less soupy if you prefer.
• Serve with other burrito fixings like taco meat, cheese, onions, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, olives, etc.
