1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
6 flour tortillas (12 inches), warmed
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
4 teaspoons canola oil
Sour cream, for serving
Salsa, for serving
Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef and add 1/4 cup water. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Warm refried beans in a small skillet or microwave until spreadable.

- Assemble burritos: spread refried beans, top with beef and cheese, fold sides and roll tightly.
- Heat remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in a skillet. Place burritos seam-side down and cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
- Serve with sour cream and salsa.
Notes
Swap ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat.
Add sautéed onions, peppers, or corn for extra flavor.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
Make spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce.
Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier twist.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
