Oh, my!! So funny you posted this today! I am making these right now! I am going to put them all together in a dish and just take it out and warm it in the oven later. I even have some left over red enchilada sauce I might spread over the top of them before baking. Yum…I can’t wait for dinner tonight!

Correction I misunderstood my hubby. He said they are better than the one’s from the store but not the restaurants. We had them tonight and they are great!! Thanks again!! :-)

I just had to tell you, I made these this week for the first time and my husband said they were better than the restaurant ones!! He also said we don’t need to buy anymore from the store either;-) Thank you for such an easy and tasty recipe! I will be making these from now on and have them on supply in my freezer.:-)

Why have I never thought to make and freeze burritos before? Thank you so much for this! In just a few more minutes than it would have taken to make the burritos for dinner, I was able to put 20 in the freezer for future lunches. I just ate the first frozen one this afternoon and it cooked up great :) (P.S. I made ground beef, black bean, cheese, and rice burritos and used your taco seasoning to season it all up. YUM!)

You can buy them cooked as in “canned beans” which is much easier. But it’s less expensive to cook them yourself. Just follow the directions on the bag – you have to soak them overnight in water and then cook them for about an hour the next day.

I use a 350 degree oven to warm the burritos. And yes, a toaster oven works great, again at 350 for about 8 minutes.

Am a complete novice but I’d like to start learning. I love plain black bean and cheese burritos and your recipe seems easy. A stupid question – how do you cook the black beans? The recipe says “cooked” or do you buy them that way?
Also, what temperature do you cook them in the oven?
Last question – I have a toaster oven, can I use that instead of a conventional oven? What temp and how long?
Thanks – I love the idea of limited ingredients. Most of my most favourite dishes in the whole world have that many or less!

I read this recipe awhile back and one of your main reasons for liking these is the exact reason I am back today…I am making the bean version to take to a friend who just had a baby. As well as some waffles that I made and froze for her to throw in the toaster. :) Thanks.

I think you could easily make these into enchiladas. My mom made enchiladas all the time growing up. Just roll the burritos in enchilada sauce (i’m sure it’s easy to make) and sprinkle the top with cheese. It would make a great dinner party meal.

Hi. I have found that reheating your tortillas on a griddle for a few seconds on each side warms up the tortillas and makes them pliable again so they don’t crack.

No, you’re not spelling-impaired. At least not English spelling. ‘Burrito’ is a Spanish word, and they don’t add a silent ‘e’ for making it a plural, because their ‘o’s are always long.
‘Volcanoes’ and ‘tomatoes’ are English words (well, don’t quote me on that! but they follow English spelling rules) and they have a silent ‘e’ added to keep the ‘o’ long.
(I learned this rule after frustrating attempts to get started on a research project on ‘volcanoes’ once.)

My sister-in-law sent me a link to your site, and I’m enjoying all the recipes I find here – thanks!
