Bean Burritos with Chipolte Sour Cream

We were in the mood for something spicy for dinner (seems like a common theme at our house) and I had some re-fried beans that I wanted to use up so this dinner was developed. The beans are simply doctored with some jarred salsa, certainly quick and easy but it does add so much to them. The real star of this dish, in my opinion is the Chipotle Sour Cream that goes with it. This sour cream would be fantastic over eggs too. I love chipotles and almost always have them on hand. You can certainly adjust the spiciness level to your own tastes and this is pretty mild by our standards. I usually use whatever bagged salad mix I have on hand for these kind of dinners so use what you have. Have fun.

Bean Burritos with Chipotle Sour Cream

1 (15 ounce) can vegetarian re-fried beans
1/2 cup of your favorite jarred salsa, thick and chunky style is best
4 (burrito size) flour tortillas
a handful of salad mix (whatever you have on hand)
1 large tomato sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chipolte Sour Cream (recipe follows)

Prepare the Chipotle Sour Cream and set aside.
In a small saucepan combine the re-fried beans and salsa and heat over medium heat to heat through.
Meanwhile heat the flour tortillas as directed on the package.
To serve simply layer the ingredients in the tortillas and roll up burrito style.

Chipotle Sour Cream
1/3 cup sour cream
1 chopped chipotle  chili in adobo sauce
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and blend well. The amount of chipotles can be adjusted to suit your taste.


Serve with the burritos or over eggs.
