Ingredients:
- 1 can of refried beans (Casa Mamita Refried Beans)
- 1 package of large flour tortillas (Casa Mamita)

- 1 jar of queso cheese sauce (Casa Mamita Queso Blanco or Nacho Cheese Sauce)
- 1/2 cup salsa (Casa Mamita Chunky Salsa)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce
Instructions:
- Prepare the Refried Beans: Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous layer of refried beans down the center of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans.
- Drizzle a few spoonfuls of queso cheese sauce on top.
- Add a spoonful of salsa for extra flavor.
- Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
- Heat the Burritos: Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the burritos warm with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or diced tomatoes.
