Bean and Rice Burritos

Name: Bean and Rice Burritos
Yield: 8 servings

These baked burritos are a great way to use leftover cooked rice. Try them with brown rice for a whole grain boost.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups cooked kidney beans (1 (15 ounce) can, low-sodium, drained)
8 medium flour tortillas
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup cheese, shredded

Directions

Wash hands with soap and water.
Preheat the oven to 300 °F.
Peel the onion, and chop it into small pieces.
Drain the liquid from the cooked (or canned) kidney beans.
Mix the rice, chopped onion, and beans in a bowl.
Put each tortilla on a flat surface.
Put 1/2 cup of the rice and bean mix in the middle of each tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla to hold the rice and beans.
Put each filled tortilla (burrito) in the baking pan.
Bake for 15 minutes.
While the burritos are baking, grate 1/2 cup cheese.
Pour the salsa over the baked burritos. Add cheese.
Serve the burritos warm.

tastes great but I don't know how they came up with Total Cost: $3.22 and Serving Cost: $0.40. An 8oz bag of cheddar cheese normally costs $2.50 and up; rarely on sale for $2.00.

My family and I already make something like this except to save additional money my children make homemade tortillas with a press. It's actually not very hard or time consuming and they think it's fun. It's actually now my 11 y/o's job when we have anything with tortillas.
