Tip

Baked cheesy bean burritos
Burritos are great for preparing ahead of time and reheating to serve. Make a double quantity of the beans, divide between 4 tortillas and roll up. Sit the rolls in a baking dish and scatter over the cheese and salsa. Bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 15-20 mins until piping hot. Scatter with coriander leaves just before serving.

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 mins. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the beans, paprika and a splash of water. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough purée. Season generously.

  2. Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and scatter over the cheese and coriander. Spoon over the salsa, then top with the remaining tortillas to make 4 sandwiches. Wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper and return to the heat or heat a griddle pan. Cook each sandwich for 1-2 mins on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melting. Serve warm, cut into wedges, with extra salsa and soured cream for dipping.
