Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Tomato (1, diced)
  • Lettuce (1 cup, shredded)
  • Guacamole (1/2 cup)
  • Sour cream (1/2 cup)
  • Salsa (1/2 cup)
  • Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
  • Large flour tortillas (4)
  • Refried beans (1 cup)
  • Pastrami (1 lb, thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced pastrami and cook until it is thoroughly heated and has a slightly crispy texture, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the warmed beans on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to make the rolling process easier.
  4. Layer the cooked pastrami over the beans, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Add dollops of salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, and finish with a handful of shredded lettuce and diced tomato.
  5. To assemble the burritos, fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to create a neat package. Make sure the filling is securely enclosed within the tortilla.
  6. Reheat the large skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled burritos seam-side down on the skillet. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Serve the Fusion Pastrami and Bean Burritos hot, with extra salsa and sour cream on the side for those who'd like a bit more zest.
