Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium.

BEAN, CAULIFLOWER AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oregano. Turn the heat off and reserve. Heat a large heavy griddle. Working in batches, heat the tortillas one at a time until they are soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side. Add 2 tablespoons of warm Chorizo Refried Beans to the center of the tortilla, spreading outward to the sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the sauteed cauliflower mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of cheese. Fold in the edges and roll to form a burrito. Return to the griddle just for the cheese to melt, about 10 seconds. Serve warm.
• Heat a medium saute pan on medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden in color, about 6 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a drain on a plate lined with some paper towels. Add the onions to the pan with the chorizo fat. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Return the chorizo to the pan. Add the refried beans to the mixture. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and reserve for tostadas and burritos.

BLACK BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Add the olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat and allow the oil to come to temperature. Add the pepper, onion, and carrots, and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until softened. Stir often.
• Add in the beans, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to come to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat accordingly to maintain a simmer for about 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Stir often.
• Transfer the beans to a food processor fitted with a paddle attachment, and process until smooth. If you do not have a food processor, you could use a blender or the back of a wooden spoon.
• Stir in the cheddar cheese. Scoop a scant 1/4 cup of the mixture onto each tortilla and roll into a tight burrito.
• Brush both sides of each burrito with olive oil, and transfer to the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the sheet, and bake in batches if necessary.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each burrito, and bake for 10 minutes more. Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy.

EASY REFRIED BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl, stir together the refried beans, brown rice, salsa, chilies, corn, and 1 cup cheese. If adding chicken to half, move 3 cups of the mix to a separate medium bowl, add the chicken, and stir. If making a vegan filling (without cheese), add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
• If the tortillas don't seem pliable (likely to rip when you bend/roll them), place tortillas on a large plate and cover with a damp dishtowel. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to steam the tortillas.
• One at a time, lay the tortillas flat and place 1/3 cup filling just below the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla so that they nearly touch, then bring up the bottom of the tortilla, pulling the contents tight, rolling the burrito from the bottom upl, and keeping the sides tucked as you go. For more guidance, here's a terrific piece from The Kitchn on how to roll a burrito.
• Lay the burritos side by side in a 9-inch x 13-inch pan (or, if you're making a meaty version and a vegetarian version, keep them segregated by using two 8-inch by 8-inch pans).
• Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the top (omit for vegan version) and bake for about 20 minutes, until heated through, cheese is melted, and they're starting to turn golden brown. Serve.
