Crisp burrito with avocado and salsa
A frozen burrito crisped in a pan and topped with fresh toppings turns into proper dinner in minutes. The refried beans and cheese inside mean you need only avocado, lime, and salsa from the store, plus whatever greens you have at home.

To buy
- 1 avocado
- as desired lime and fresh salsa
From your shelf
- 2 southwestern corn masa, refried beans & cheese burrito, southwestern (Amy's)
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Unwrap the 2 burritos and place them seam-side down in the pan, working in batches if needed.
- Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and crisp the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. The burrito should feel firm when pressed.
- Transfer to plates. Halve and pit 1 avocado, scoop into slices, and lay over each burrito. Squeeze lime over the top, add a spoonful of salsa to each plate, and season with salt and pepper.
Note Swap the salsa for hot sauce, pico de gallo, or crema if you prefer. Leftovers keep wrapped in the fridge for one day; reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for five minutes. Serve with a side salad or sour cream.
