Ingredients

  • 14.5- ounce can pinto beans (or about 1 1/2 cups canned or homemade refried beans)
  • 6 tortillas (corn or flour)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Cumin, garlic powder, and salt (optional)
  • Salsa, cheese, sour cream, and assorted taco topping as desired

Instructions

  • Pour the 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: I find it usually works best to wrap a small stack in a damp paper towel and warm for about 30 seconds in the microwave, flipping them over halfway through.
  • Working with one tortilla at a time, spread with about 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup depending on the size of your tortillas. Sprinkle cheese and 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.
  • You can use either corn or flour tortillas, though corn tortillas marked "soft" will hold together better.
  • Add salsa or sour cream for dipping.
  • Use a serrated knife to easily cut the roll-up into rounds.
  • Use dairy-free cheese to make these dairy-free.
