I was a little worried about trying this when I read some of the reviews, but I actually really liked this dish! It was super easy to make with ingredients I already had laying around the pantry. However, I would not go so far as to say this was the best burrito I’ve ever had, as the name seems to suggest. Overall, I would make this again. I usually make bean burritos with taco sauce, but I really liked how the hot sauce with the sour cream tasted. Maybe next time I’ll use my cheddar instead of just American to add a little more to the cheese flavor, though.

so i of course tried it because im a busy mother of four and they were delish I added left over brown rice to the ground meat and then some med picante sauce to the rice mixture, chopped some lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and sour cream. spread on the refried beans to the whole wheat tortillas, added all other ingredients and it was a hit. will definately try again… oh and it was quick.

This made for a quick and easy lunch today. I had boiled some pinto beans, last night, and was looking for a recipe to use them in. I mashed them on the tortilla and heated it in the microwave about 45 seconds with the cheese. I used low fat cheddar instead of American cheese and a Trader Joes tortilla. I didn’t use the black pepper, because I don’t like it. Oddly, adding the sour cream and hot sauce did make it remind me a little of a taco bell bean burrito. ty

This was ok. I used cheddar cheese instead of American. Definitely not the best bean burrito I have ever had.

I tried this recipe just to try it even though I was a little nervous about using exackly what the recipe calls for. American cheese? Yuck. This is a mexican dish that should be served with shredded mexican cheese. My family hated this recipe. Never again. This shouldnt be listed under the mexican recipe section thats for sure…..AWFUL

No, not the “best” but I thought they were fairly good and extra points for being super easy, although heating everything in the microwave would be even easier. I slopped some extra sour cream and taco sauce on top. My one big complaint that no one has mentioned: I doubled the filling because I wanted to make two. And that was just barely enough to fill a 10″ tortilla. I even double-checked the recipe that it hadn’t been meant for a smaller one. I cannot imagine 1/4 cup beans and slice of cheese even remotely matching a 10″ tortilla, unless you just enjoy eating tortillas.

Made these for lunch and they were very good. I used shredded cheese because I don’t care for the american slices. Took everything to work and made their in the microwave. Yummy lunch!! ** EDITED ** Made these for the kids for lunch today and my youngest daughter loved them. I used sour cream on the side and left out the hot pepper sauce for her.

American Cheese a No-NO! Not enough flavour, spices or creativity for me. I had to add a lot to make this dish seem appealing. I am a fan of simple meals, but this one was too far bland for my tastebuds to do a the two step let alone the salsa.

i used homemade refried beans from this site. and also used a mix of mexican cheese. no sour cream. i like to make alot of them wrap them in foil and freeze them. that way i have them on hand for a quick lunch.

I altered this recipe to my liking. I used whole wheat “plus” mission tortillas (the brand name) & i used gerbhardt refried beans, they dont have alot of additives, just beans, water & salt. I put a touch of olive oil in a frying pan and added the beans, med-hi heat and add a dash of cumin and salt. I also would never use american cheese, i agree with others that it is not right for this. I added onions, cheddar & sour cream. I served with Fresh tomato salsa i found here.

Quick, easy, and tasty. I could not imagine using American cheese with a burrito, however so used shredded 4-cheese Mexican blend. I sauteed some green onion in the saucepan before adding the can of refried beans to heat. Also added a tiny bit of lime juice to freshen up the flavor and I ate the burrito with picante sauce. Lots of flavor and I’m looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch!

I like my spicier so I used canned Mexican Style Chili beans and mashed them with a handblender. Topped with Shredded cheddar cheese and medium salsa then wrapped them up and browned it in a frying pan for a more crisp tortilla. This was excellent. Next time I may even add freshly chopped onions.
Lindsey Dominguez
This was pretty good! I did what another user suggested and added some sour cream and lettuce. I also had some packets of Taco Bell mild sauce lying around and put a little of that in before I wrapped it. I lightly toasted the tortilla too, so it gave it a nice flavor.
Douglas Booth
I love this recipe cuz its so easy. I didn’t have sour cream this time so I left it out. Easy lunch recipe and it beats going to Taco Bell! 🙂
Alexandra Vega
This recipe was very good. However, I made the following adjustment to it. First, I warmed up the refried beans and added a tbs of salsa, garlic powder and 1/4 of pinto beans. I also sauteed onions and green peppers and cut up tomatoes. Then I piled up the burritos as follow… beans, sauteed onions and green peppers, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and salsa. Wrap up the burrito and placed them on a greased pan for about 12minutes. My family loved these burritos. I served them with spanish rice. This was so good, my family requested it again the next night.
Amanda White
Very good! My husband and kids loved it. First time I made it as described. Second time I made a few changes. First, I added canned, drained black beans, as well as the refried beans. I also used shredded chedder. Finally, I did not heat the burrito on the stove. Instead, I wrapped each burrito and then tightly placed them in a shallow baking dish. Baked them in a preheated 300 degree F. oven for about 12 minutes. Served with salsa and sour cream. Excellent!! Try adding fried onions for the adults.
Michael Lee
Tasty. I added some tomato bits for extra flavor.

I like that it’s easy and low fat but it’s boring.
