Refried beans from two pounds of beans
 12  large flour tortillas
 8 oz  shredded cheese
 1 large  onion, chopped fine
 chopped peppers as desired
 Get the tortilla wraps to room temperature and separate them.  Make
 sure they can be folded without cracking; if this is a problem it
 may help to warm them in a microwave a bit.
 For each burrito:
 Lay one tortilla on your working surface.  Spoon exactly one twelfth
 of the bean mixture onto the center of the tortilla in a roughly
 rectangular blob.  Sprinkle some cheese & onion on the bean mixture.
 Fold in the tortilla to form the two ends of the burrito.  Fold
 one of the side flaps over the top and around the other side of
 the bean mix; you'll almost tuck it in under the bean mix so as to
 force the burrito into a round shape.  Fold the other side over.
 [If you can't understand what to do from these instructions don't
 sweat it too much; as long as you completely enclose the filling
 you're okay, and it's not hard to figure out your own folding
 method.]  Set the burrito aside with these folded sides on the
 bottom.
 These freeze quite nicely.  Two of these large ones (or one with
 side dishes) makes a meal.  You could of course make smaller ones
 using the smaller wraps, though I'm not sure how many you'll get.
 An excellent variation is to brown a half pound to a pound of ground
 beef or turkey, drain it, and stir it into the refried beans before
 assembling burritos.
