This was one of my first posts written for an online magazine back when this little ol’ blog was a little over a month old. Â It has since graced my menu every couple of weeks.
Cheap. Â Simple. Â I could make these Crisp Bean Burritos with my eyes closed.
It is the perfect meal for 30 Minute Monday. Â And at a whooping $0.81 a serving it is a great budget saver. Â I like to serve it with this Mexican Vegetable Saute for a balanced, vegetarian dinner.
I do have a kid or two who aren’t big fans of these while the other two inhale them as fast as I make them. Â For the picky eaters I make a little quesadilla. Â I figure I’ve already got the cheese and tortillas out so it doesn’t make me feel like a short order chef. Â Either way, this meal will be on the table in no time at all!
Ingredients
- 10 - 6" flour tortillas
- 1 - 16 oz can refried beans
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Canola oil to fry
- 1/2 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cups frozen yellow corn
- 3 roma tomatoes, diced
Instructions
- Heat 1/4" canola oil in a pan or skillet on medium-high heat.
- In the middle of a tortilla spread 3 tblsp beans. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll tightly and repeat until each tortilla is filled.
- Fry until each side of the tortilla is golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
- In a large skillet preheat oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion. Saute 3 minutes.
- Add the corn and turn heat up to high. Cook over high heat until the corn is done, stirring frequently.
- Turn off heat and toss in the tomatoes. Mix until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with bean burritos.
Notes
For a healthier version preheat the oven to 450° and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the burritos, seam side down, on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, flipping half way through.
These look awesome! I cannot wait to try them and add them to my list of favorite quick and easy meals! Thanks for sharing!

These remind me of the crisp burritos at Taco Time – my favorite!!
That was the inspiration! Mr grew up on Taco Time and these are his fave too!
