Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the refried beans and salsa and mix well.
Lay a tortilla onto a flat surface and spread about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture onto it, then sprinkle the beans with about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
Tuck the sides of the tortilla in, then roll the burrito tightly from bottom to top. Continue with the rest of the tortillas.
In a large skillet, add a couple tablespoons of oil and heat until warm. Add 2-3 burritos at a time, seam side down, and heat until the bottom of the burritos are golden brown. Use tongs to flip the burritos and heat until the cheese is melted inside and the burrito is golden and crispy on both sides. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm with salsa and sour cream for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing Leftovers: store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing: uncooked burritos can be stored in freezer bags and frozen for up to 2 months. When you are ready to eat, pull them out and let them thaw for at least 30 minutes before cooking as directed.

To reheat: leftover burritos can be wrapped in a damp paper towel and reheated for about 45 seconds to 1 minute in a microwave. If you want to retain some of the crispiness, you can reheat in a toaster oven (about 5 minutes), a preheated 350 degree oven (about 10 minutes), or even an air fryer (about 5 minutes).
