Ingredients

Scale

1 Tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans

Instructions

1-Preheat the oven to 350°F: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
2-In a medium saucepan, heat the olive: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon chili powder. Cook 1 minute, or until fragrant.
3-Pour in the beans (I usually leave: Pour in the beans (I usually leave 1 can with juice and drain the other) and water. Cover and cook 5 minutes.
4-Mash beans: Mash beans. Remove the lid and reduce the heat to low. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans until you reach your desired consistency. You can also use an immersion blender if you prefer a smoother consistency. Bring to a light simmer for 2 minutes. Add a splash more water if they become too thick or simmer longer to allow more moisture to evaporate if needed. Remove from heat and stir in optional add-ins, if using. Season to taste.
5-Assemble burritos: Assemble burritos. Spread about 1/3 cup of the beans down the center of a tortilla. Add 2 Tablespoons of cheese over the top. Fold the bottom edge over the filling and then fold in the sides and roll up.
6-Place in baking dish and bake 10: Place in baking dish and bake 10 minutes. Serve while warm. Add desired toppings. See note for cooking them in a pan instead.
