Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the refried beans, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Mix in taco seasoning until well combined.
  2. Heat cooked rice in a separate saucepan or microwave until hot, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface and warm them slightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
  4. Evenly distribute the warm beans, rice, salsa, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream along the center of each tortilla.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then firmly roll the burrito from the bottom up.
  6. In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and toast for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and toast the other side.
  7. Remove the toasted burritos from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice them in half if desired, then serve hot.
