I've seen recipes using black beans or refried beans seasoned with garlic powder or chili powder, but no need because these beans are already huge on flavor.
Let's talk about how to make bean burritos, shall we?

How to Make Bean Burritos - the Recipe Method
Warm the Beans. Add the beans to a small pot and heat to medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes to warm. Mash the beans slightly with a fork.
![Mashing pinto beans to make a bean burrito.](https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Mashing-the-Beans.jpg)
Cook the Jalapeno Slices. While the beans are warming, heat the oil to medium heat in a large pan. Add the jalapeno slices and cook for 5 minutes to slightly soften. Remove from heat.
Make the Cilantro-Lime Rice. In a small bowl, mix together the cooked rice, cilantro, lime juice and zest.

Assemble the Bean Burritos. To make the burritos, divide 1/4 of the warmed bean mixture, jalapeno slices, cilantro-lime rice and cheddar cheese between each tortilla.

Fold the Bean Burritos. Fold the sides of tortillas into burritos. Like so.

Brown the Ben Burritos. Heat the large pan back to medium high heat. Warm each folded burrito in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side, seam side down first, until lightly browned.
Boom! Done! Your bean burritos are ready to serve! So easy to make, aren't they? And very easy to customize as well. How are you going to enjoy yours? Let's hear it!

Recipe Tips & Notes
- Additional Ingredients. Bean burritos are easy to change up to your own preference. Try them with smashed avocado or spicy guacamole, extra beans, salsa, chopped lettuce or spinach, other spice peppers, black olives, crunchy tortilla chips, sour cream or others. Use your favorites!
- Oven Bean Burritos. You can also warm your burritos on the oven rather than pan heat them. Simply heat the oven to 375 degrees F and bake the burritos for 5 minutes on a baking sheet, or until warmed to your preference.
That's it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my easy bean burrito recipe. Let me know if you make it. I'd love to hear how it turned out for you. Keep it spicy!
Storage & Leftovers
Storing your Bean Burritos in an airtight container in the fridge may allow you to store the leftovers for up to 3-4 days (2-3 months in the freezer). To maximize the storage life, make sure to refrigerate them promptly.

So good! We added some Sazon Seasoning (recipe found in here!) for a little extra kick. Absolutely a 'do again'!

Awesome! Nice touch!!
Damien C. says
Everyone enjoyed this recipe. Incredibly easy to make. A great one to keep in the recipe file. Many thanks for another winner.
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Thanks, Damien! Glad they were enjoyed!
Lisa says
This looks great, Mike! Super easy and quick. I’m thinking these would be good to batch and freeze for easy future meals, as is, without the add-ins like guacamole or sour cream… thoughts? Would you brown before freezing? Thanks in advance!
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
Thanks, Lisa. Yes, you can freeze these. Just make them with the beans and even the cheese and jalapenos, then wrap and freeze. You could brown them before freezing if you'd like to. When you're ready to enjoy them, a few minutes in the microwave will warm them right up. Let me know how it goes for you. Enjoy!

Made my own bean mix as Seious Beans not available in Oz. Not bad at all
Michael Hultquist - Chili Pepper Madness says
