Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canned green chilies, chopped (i use the whole small can)

• 3 add beans, chilies and seasonings. mix and mash the beans somewhat to the desired consistency.
• 4 remove from heat; spread beans, cheese and salsa in the middle of each tortilla. (i use about 2/3 cup beans and about 1/4 cup cheese per tortilla so they roll up nicely).
• 5 roll up tortillas and place in 7 x 11 or 9 x 13 ovenproof casserole dish, lightly sprayed with oil.
• 6 cover with foil and bake at 350f for 15 minutes. serve.
• 7 note: i put additional salsa and cheese on top before baking ~ we like our burritos extra cheesy!
