Mix the tomato sauce with all the dry spices. Add a little bit of water to the bowl. Stir it until the sauce is very smooth. Let it sit so the flavors can mix well. This sauce is the secret to the whole meal.

Put the beans into a small metal saucepan. Turn the heat to low on your stove top. Add a splash of water to make them creamy. Stir them often so they do not stick down. The beans should be very hot and very soft.

Take a stack of large flour tortillas. Wrap them in a damp paper towel carefully. Put them in the microwave for thirty seconds. This makes them very stretchy and very easy to roll. Do not skip this step or they might rip.

Place one warm tortilla on a flat clean plate. Put two large scoops of beans in the middle. Spread the beans into a long line shape. Leave space at the edges for easy folding later. Do not put too many beans in one spot.

Take a spoon and grab some red sauce. Drizzle the sauce over the hot refried beans. Use as much or as little as you like. The sauce will soak into the beans very nicely. This adds the famous zing to your home burrito.

Take the tiny pieces of chopped white onion. Sprinkle them over the top of the red sauce. The onions add a very nice bite and crunch. They make the burrito taste very fresh and very authentic. Only use a small amount for each burrito.

Grab a big pinch of shredded cheddar cheese. Put the cheese on top of the onions now. The heat from the beans will melt the cheese. Melted cheese is the best part of the whole burrito. Use mild or sharp cheddar for a great taste.

Fold the two sides of the tortilla inward first. Then roll the bottom up over the bean filling. Keep rolling until it looks like a tight tube. Lay it down with the seam on the bottom. Now your burrito is ready for you to eat.
