Bean and Cheese Burritos

We needed a quick meal and I had all of the ingredients for this meal on hand.  Unfortunately, simple oftentimes means bland and boring.  This recipe fits that description.  But if you get out the sour cream and some hot sauce, you can hide that little problem.  If I need something in a pinch, I may make this again, but some chili powder, taco seasoning, cayenne and/or cumin will be added.

Bean and Cheese Burritos
~ adapted from 9x13 The Pan That Can

8 7 or 8 inch whole wheat tortillas
1 cup chopped onion
1 T cooking oil
1 16oz can refried beans
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/3 cup salsa
Sour cream
Hot sauce

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a light coating of pam in pan.

In a large skillet, cook onion in oil until tender.  Add refried beans.  Stir; cook until heated through.  Spoon approximately 1/4 cup onto each tortilla just below center and to within one inch of the edge.  Divide cheese among tortillas.  Roll up tortillas.  Place flap-side down in lightly greased pan.

Bake about ten minutes or until heated through.  Serve with lettuce and salsa.  Top with sour cream and hot sauce.
