Ingredients
  

For the Burritos
  • 1 can (16 ounces) vegetarian refried beans
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup cooked long grain rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 12 flour tortillas (6 inches)
Optional Toppings
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sliced olives
  • Halved grape tomatoes
  • Sliced avocado

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • 13x9-in. baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the refried beans, salsa, cooked rice, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  3. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture onto the center of each flour tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
  4. Arrange the rolled burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  5. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve the burritos warm with your desired optional toppings such as shredded lettuce, sliced olives, grape tomatoes, and avocado.
