South of the Border Bundles

These are the weeknight burritos that practically make themselves.

Warm flour tortillas get spread with a spiced refried bean mixture loaded with green onions, green chiles, and chili powder. A stick of cheddar sits in the center, chopped tomato goes on top, and you roll them up jelly-roll style.

Bake until the tortillas crisp up on the outside and the cheese inside goes completely melty and gooey.

Top with taco sauce and a scatter of sliced green onions for a hands-on dinner the whole family will demolish.

Kitchen Tips

• Warm the tortillas in foil first. Cold tortillas crack when you try to roll them, and nobody wants a blowout.
• Cut the cheese into sticks rather than shredding. A solid stick in the center creates a molten cheese core that holds everything together.
• Fold in the sides before rolling to keep the filling locked in. Think burrito, not open-ended wrap.
• These are a great make-ahead meal. Assemble the bundles, cover with foil, and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time when cooking from cold.
