Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

Beans and barbecue sauce make a sweet-smoky filling without meat. A crushed pretzel finish supplies the contrast usually provided by fresh vegetables, using another item that keeps well in a cupboard.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. TDCJ Commissary Price List.

Make it

Equipment: Microwave-safe bowl or plate; clean spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a permitted microwave if using that option. Follow the product label for heating.

Ingredients

2 flour tortillas, 8 inch
3/4 cup ready-to-eat refried beans
2 tbsp barbecue sauce
1 tsp mustard
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup crushed pretzels

Method

Mix beans, barbecue sauce, mustard and onion powder.
Warm the mixture in a microwave-safe bowl according to the bean label if desired.
Spread onto tortillas, keeping filling away from the edges, and scatter on pretzels.
Fold ends inward and roll; eat before the pretzels soften.

The useful detail

Mix the bean filling first, but crush and add the pretzels only when the tortillas are ready to roll.

When the store is different

Crushed corn chips work in place of pretzels.

Serving & handling

Keep dry ingredients dry until assembly. Handle the moist finished mixture as perishable, even when the unopened packages were shelf-stable. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
