This is a recipe from Jen’s childhood. Her mother used to fry these burritos, and they would dip them in a mixture of ketchup and Texas Pete hot sauce. She started making them again because it is a very budget-friendly meal.
Jen can make about 8 burritos with one small can of fat-free refried beans and 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. Instead of frying them, she covers in olive oil and cooks them on a skillet until they are golden brown on each side (see the picture). The kids are crazy about them, and our family of 5 eats all 8 burritos in one meal!
