Ingredients (raw weights)
- 30 g butter, salted, as sold
- 40 g garlic, raw
- 2250 g kidney beans, canned, drained
- 800 g enchilada sauce, as sold
- 113 g green chiles, canned
- 12 g dry yeast
- 6.9 g onion powder, dry
- 18 g salt, dry
- 360 g cottage cheese, fat free, as sold
- 300 g mozzarella/pizza cheese, light shredded, as sold
- 226 g fontina/gruyere, as sold
- 930 g low carb / high fiber tortilla, as sold
Steps
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add butter and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add drained pinto beans, green enchilada sauce, green chiles, nutritional yeast, onion powder, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat for about 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until very thick and all liquid has reduced, then mash the beans directly in the pot until thick and cohesive
- Add the cottage cheese, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack. Stir until fully melted and combined
- Transfer the filling to a bowl and let cool for 15-20 mins. The longer you let the filling cool/thicken, the easier the burritos will be to roll
- Lay out the tortillas and divide the filling evenly between them (about 165g filling per burrito), then roll tightly
- Optionally, toast in a pan until lightly golden - this will improve flavor but you could also pan fry when reheating instead
- Microwave for 2 mins, then air fry at 350°F for 6–7 minutes until the tortilla is crispy and the interior is warmed all the way through
