I just love when I can take a fast food favorite and make it a little bit healthier by recreating it at home and knowing exactly what I’m putting into it. These Crispy Bean & Cheese Burritos are fast, easy, and everyone loves them! I love using my homemade pinto bean recipe in these burritos, they are just so good and really level them up! Throw them together for a quick weeknight meal or meal prep them ahead of time for a meal later on. Either way they are delicious!

You can make your own pinto beans in the Instant Pot by checking out this post. They are so easy and yummy! We actually prefer these over canned, but those work great in a pinch!
You can find uncooked flour tortillas at most grocery stores now. I usually use Tortilla Land or Tortilla Fresca and they both have very similar macros. Look for any close to: 3p/23c/4f per tortilla.

Supplies Used
- Air Fryer – We love using our Air Fryer for so many things, and it’s perfect for these burritos!
Storing Instructions
Make sure to let your burritos cool COMPLETELY before storing in an airtight container or bag. If you do not, there will be too much moisture and the tortillas will get soggy.
Freezing Instructions
Let the burritos cool completely and wrap individually with a layer of each cling wrap and some foil.
Reheating Instructions
If you want these to be nice and crispy again, reheat in the air fryer at a lower temp so the inside gets heated through. Every air fryer is slightly different but I have found that 300º for about 8 minutes does the trick. Another option is to microwave them 1 minute to get the inside warm, and then air fry at 350º for about 5 minutes.

Can I cook these in a traditional oven, vs the air fryer? If so, do you have recommendations on how I might do that? Many thanks!
You can yes, but I would just do them in a pan on the stove before I’d bake them. Just to crisp up the uncooked tortillas on all sides.
Ah delete my comment. I misread the recipe! Sorry
This is on my list to make! But just checking do you mean scoop 1/2 cup of pinto into each Burrito, or does your recipe only call for 1 cup of refried beans? Or do we need more tortillas?
Krista’s recipe are amazing and this one is no exception! She does small – but SO easy – things that take her recipes next level (homemade pinto beans! Raw tortillas!) I appreciate how thoughtful her directions are offering little tips and alternate options. I already have two of her cookbooks and am very tempted to invest in a third. Thanks, Krista!
This is so kind of you Carrie!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. I’m so glad you enjoy the recipes.
These are so quick and easy to put together on a busy night! My kids and I both love them, so that’s a win!
These are absolutely delicious!!!!
