These crispy bean + cheese burritos is my favorite way to make burritos for my kids since they don't fall apart and are the perfect size. You cook them in a cast iron skillet until crispy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 flour tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ghee

Instructions

  • Heat your cast iron skillet over low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Spread the refried beans in a thin layer on the tortilla. (As thin as you would spread peanut butter on a sandwich). Sprinkle on the cheese. Fold up the burrito like an envelope, and press to keep it thin.
  • Add the ghee to the cast iron skillet. Start the burritos folded side DOWN. Cook for 8-10 minutes over low heat until very crispy. Flip, and cook another 8-10 minutes until very crispy.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The wire rack will prevent it from creating steam and getting soggy on the bottom.
  • Serve warm. Watch your kids enjoy the best burrito of their lives!
