Vegetarian

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 mins. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the beans, paprika and a splash of water. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough purée. Season generously.
Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and scatter over the cheese and coriander. Spoon over the salsa, then top with the remaining tortillas to make 4 sandwiches. Wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper and return to the heat or heat a griddle pan. Cook each sandwich for 1-2 mins on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melting. Serve warm, cut into wedges, with extra salsa and soured cream for dipping.

Baked cheesy bean burritos

Burritos are great for preparing ahead of time and reheating to serve. Make a double quantity of the beans, divide between 4 tortillas and roll up. Sit the rolls in a baking dish and scatter over the cheese and salsa. Bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 15-20 mins until piping hot. Scatter with coriander leaves just before serving.

My partner really liked this but I wasn't a big fan. I'm not a big fan of kidney beans so probably the wrong beans to use.

Really tasty, quick and moreish. Pinto beans made the tastiest filling and I tried with a spicy homemade tomato salsa to add a bit of extra kick.

Really great - I used pinto beans which I think suit this better than kidney beans. I find it easier to use one tortilla folded over - I find that it melds better.

Just scrummy! Added some sweet red peppers and a spoon of chipotle chilli paste, didn't have soured cream so had natural yogurt with a generous helping of tabasco stirred in! Yum!

Husband and I just made these- they are so tasty I created a username just to rate this meal. Suggestion- corn tortilla instead of flour- gives them a gorgeous crunch.

I make the baked cheesy bean burritos almost every week and my whole family love them! I leave out the smoked paprika for the kids , but add it for the adult ones. I use whatever beans I've got in the house - usually half kidney, half butter beans, but pinto are nice too. It's very easy to make and good if you want to prepare dinner in advance. And it's very filling!

An absolutely delicious, simple, so tasty dish to make. I used large flour tortillas so I could only get the beans on one but nonetheless filling. Served with sour cream, salad and savour rice, definitely making it again, so delicious :o)

Really yummy, however the mixture barely did 3 tortillas, yet alone 4. Double the recipe if you want to make 4.

I made the 'Baked cheesy bean burritos' as suggested at the end of the recipe. Delicious. Used a tin of mixed beans, and added a little salt. I didn't have any coriiander, but it turned out just fine.
