Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 14.5-ounce can pinto beans or about 1 ½ cups canned or homemade refried beans
- 6 tortillas tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Cumin optional
- garlic powder optional
- salt optional
- Salsa as desired
- cheese as desired
- sour cream as desired
- assorted taco toppings as desired
Instructions
- Pour the pinto beans, including the liquid, into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Mash with a fork or potato masher to form the texture of refried beans. If using prepared refried beans, you can skip this step.
- Warm the tortillas: Wrap a small stack in a damp paper towel and warm for about 30 seconds in the microwave, flipping them over halfway through for even heating.
- Working with one tortilla at a time, spread with about 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup of mashed beans depending on the size of your tortillas. Sprinkle cheese and any spices on top.
- Place onto a heat-safe plate and warm in the microwave for about 60 seconds, or place into a pan over medium heat until the cheese starts to melt.
- Transfer to a cutting board and roll up tightly, starting on one side. Cut in half or into rounds with a serrated knife.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and/or cheese on the side as desired.
Notes
- Store: Any leftover beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Tortilla choice: You can use either corn or flour tortillas, though corn tortillas marked “soft” will hold together better.
- Dipping options: Add salsa or sour cream for dipping.
- Cutting technique: Use a serrated knife to easily cut the roll-up into rounds.
- Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free cheese to make these dairy-free.
