Mamma Jeanne's Cheap Eats: Bean and Cheese Burritos

[Guest guest]

I just made this for dinner. It took 5 minutes, made 6 and cost around $4.00.

Adding the extras like jalapeno peppers, vegan cheese, Boca crumbles,sour cream,

etc, will add more to the cost. I keep the ingredients for these on hand.

 

Bean and Cheese Burritos with Salsa

1, 16 ounce can vegetarian refried beans (.88 cents)

1 cup finely grated cheddar (or vegan) cheese (about .98 cents)

6 large flour tortillas (.80 cents)

Salad in a bag (pennies. One small bag makes enough sandwich lettuce for a

week.)

half of a small jar or homemade salsa (about .75 cents)

 

Optional:

sliced black olives

TVP or Boca crumbles

banana peppers

jalapeno or other peppers

 

Heat flour tortillas. (stove top, microwave or oven, wrapped) Heat refried

beans. Jazz up if wanted. Sprinkle cheese down one side of the tortilla. Top

with a couple spoons of refried beans. Top with salsa and/or any extras you

want. Roll. Eat over plate; these are messy.

 

How I do them: Right burner: Beans in small saucepan. Left burner: Frying pan

on medium. Cheese, salsa, lettuce, extras on back of stove. Heat tortilla,

sprinkle cheese, beans, extras, roll, roll off onto plate.

 

Wrap leftovers in plastic or waxed paper to reheat in microwave. To reheat in

oven, wrap in aluminum foil. Freezes easily.
