- 1 flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons refried beans
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons ghee
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!
