I try to eat a lot of fiber and bean burritos are one way. I've been making
them for years with hot refried beans and Velveeta. Finally got tired of
that. Lately tried chicken breast with and without cheese. Tried sharp
cheddar. Not great. Any suggestions? Salsa? Taco sauce? Ideally something
common that I likely already have.

As you can tell, I'm not very adventurous on my own.

Tried Google but didn't see anthing - probably wrong search phrase.

TIA

I love a good meal! So I don't cook.

Salsa and taco sauce are tasty on the side. I like some chopped onion
and green onions, maybe tomatoes. Jalapeno peppers are good.

rice, flavored rice, scrambled eggs and potatoes, treat it like tacos
-- tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, taco sauce. Green onion or diced onion,
avocado, shredded cabbage. Shredded pork or chicken in a sauce. Just
about anything that catches your fancy

Try sautéed spinach and onions and mushrooms and cheese.

Plain chicken can be boring in a burrito. With enough water to cover,
boil a dried ancho and maybe a guajillo chili, along with a piece of
onion and a couple of cloves of garlic. After the water comes to a boil,
turn the heat off and wait for 30 minutes so the peppers will get soft.
Dump the vegetables and some of the liquid into a blender and blend
until smooth. Shred the chicken, then add enough of the chili sauce to
make it moist. Add a little salt and then taste for seasonings. Try it,
you'll like it. This chili sauce can be frozen for future use.

If it's easier than Becca's recipe, buy a can of red enchilada sauce.
Heat the chicken in a pan and add onions, peppers, whatever you like.
Add some of the red sauce to make it moist.

Take a second, small skillet and pour in some of the sauce. Take your
tortillas and heat them in the sauce, turning them after a minute. Then
stuff and roll, cover with the remaining sauce and cheese. Heat in the
oven, toaster oven or gently nuke at a low power.

Yes, easier and similar.

Good for enchiladas (corn tortillas), bad for burritos (flour
tortillas). Try just warming the tortillas over a gas burner for a few
seconds before filling and rolling.

Works with flour tortillas here. I use flour tortillas in my
enchiladas. I just prefer them to corn.

Becca, this dude makes burritos with freakin' Velveeta. Chances are he doesn't know what an ancho even is, much less a guajillo.

I think they make Velveeta with peppers in it!

I wouldn't know about Velveeta with peppers. IIRC Ken is an older man,
possibly a widower who hasn't done a lot of cooking.

I don't make a lot of this sort of food. I would definitely suggest (at
the very least) grating some monterey jack or pepper jack cheese in
place of Velveeta.

Or he's tried cheddar, etc. in burritos and for some reason prefers
Velveeta. It's your business what I eat? You can order me to only eat what
you prefer? Seems a lot of people evidently buy Velveeta or they'd have
stopped making it long ago.

Try Googling: vegetarian burrito recipe... of course you can always
add meat if you have any leftovers to use up.

Do you change your beans or switch between whole and refried? Have
you ever tried avocado in your burrito? You could use slices or make
guacamole. If you want a change of cheese, try Pepper Jack or Cheddar
Jack. I'm pretty sure your store will have them in stock. I also
think a fresh salsa will work for you. Buy it from the refrigerated
section. Pico de Gallo is nice for the summer, but I usually buy
refrigerated medium or hot salsa year 'round. I'd also suggest
chopping up some green onions. Instead of green onions, a nice flavor
combo that I like is onion (the regular kind, diced) and cilantro.

This how my kids loved burritos:

I would make home made refritos (refried beans) and mix them with
sauteed onion, a little green pepper and some chili powder and garlic.
I'd add a solid handful or two of shredded Monterrey Jack cheese to the
beans and if I was feeling extravagant, some ground sausage meat that
was browned separately. Mexican chorizo, not Spanish chorizo, would
work great.

That mixture would be stuffed into tortillas and rolled. Cover the
whole thing with more shredded Jack cheese, put it all in a big
microwave-safe glass pan and cover it with Saran, then nuke at a low
power until the cheese melts.

Toppings were salsa, sour cream, raw onions, avocado (for the grown ups).

Velveeta cheese entered our home once a year for the Constitutionally
required Super Bowl mix with the Rotel tomatoes. Any leftover Velveeta
was used to hide the dog's heartworm pill. He loved that stupid fake
cheese.

I've visited my son over the years and he always asks me to make them
for him.

I don't put cheese in mine but if I did, I would for sure use a Mexican
cheese. Gotta have some chopped onions and a really good taco sauce inside.

I also love them smothered with more taco sauce or enchilada sauce or even
salsa or tomato sauce if I have nothing else. More chopped onion. Or
slices of white onion and green pepper. Cilantro. Chopped tomatoes if not
using salsa. And if you use cheese, put cheese on top.

You could also try whole pinto beans. One of my favorites is served
smothered but has nothing inside of it but the beans. Shredded lettuce on
the side is good too as are black olives.

If you can't find Mexican cheese where you are at, use Monterrey Jack.

I add chopped mushrooms, sauted onions and garlic, black beans, Jack cheese, chopped up chicken, enchilada sauce, sour cream, few drops of honey, lemon juice .....I like my burritos on the wet side.

Almost. Tried some onion slices with spicy refried beans and Velveeta for 5
min. in MW. Very good. Tried this first as I was ready for lunch and it was
simple and easy.

Thanks!
