Method

6 steps Oven 400°F 10 min prep · 35 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Bring White Rice, Water and Salt to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce to low and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Take off the heat and keep covered.
Step 2. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Stir Refried Beans and Cumin together in a bowl.
Step 3. Wrap Tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave until flexible, about 30 seconds. Spread a thin layer of Enchilada Sauce over the bottom of a baking dish, reserving the rest for the top.

Cook

Step 4. Fluff the rice. Divide the beans, rice and half the Monterey Jack Cheese among the tortillas. Fold in the sides, roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
Step 5. Spoon the rest of the Enchilada Sauce over the burritos and sprinkle with the rest of the Monterey Jack Cheese. Bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Let the burritos stand until the sauce settles, about 5 minutes. Scatter Scallions over the top, if using, and serve.

Tips

Swap it

Use shredded cheddar in place of Monterey Jack.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly for up to 3 days and reheat until steaming hot.

Good to know

Warm the tortillas before rolling so they bend without splitting.
