FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave. This will prevent them from cracking when you work with them.
• If they are not sufficiently heated, heat for an additional 10 seconds until fairly warm.
• Once heated, keep them warm by placing them in a tortilla warmer, or two inverted plates.
• Put the oil in a deep skillet. The oil should be about an inch deep.
• Turn the burner to medium-low. The oil is ready when a drop of water "dances" on it.
• Remove one tortilla at a time from the warmer and place on clean surface.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoon refried beans in a line down center of tortilla.
• Place half a piece of cheese, followed by an additional fourth a piece cheese on the beans.
• Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla in, then the sides.
• Place, seam side down, in the oil.
• Fry until browned on one side. This will not take long. Turn and brown on other side.
• Prepare the remaining tortillas as you did before and place them to the oil. You should have NO MORE than 3 frying at one time.
• When you remove them from the oil, place on a thick layer of paper towels to dry.

Cook until pork is no longer pink, 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through. , Sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese off-center on each tortilla.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place beans in microwave safe dish.
• Stir in next 5 ingredients.
• Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
• Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
• If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
• Mix in rice, if using.
• Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
• Use the method you like best.
• I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
• Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
• You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
• I like to skip this step.
• That's it!
• These refrigerate well for a few days.
• I can't speak for the freezer.
• I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
• Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
• No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Step 1: Brown ground beef along with; onion, garlic, salt, pepper and chili powder on medium-high heat. Drain and return back to the pot.
• 2. Step 2: Over medium-high heat add the beans along with the liquid from the beans to the meat mixture. Once the mixture starts to bubble turn off the burner and smash still leaving some beans whole.
• 3. Step 3: Place 1-2 Tbsp. shredded cheese in a line along the center of the tortilla (not too close to the edges or the cheese will fall out while frying). Then add about 1/2 cup of meat mixture and roll into a burrito leaving one end open then lightly flatten the burrito (remember not to much pressure because then you will start to loose mixture from the opened end)to prevent rolling around while browning. Repeat until you have all the burritos prepared.
• 4. HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A FEW CHANGES! I MYSELF PREFER THIS METHOD: Step 4: Heat 2-3 Tbsp. veg. oil in a large skillet/frying pan on med-high heat.
