Kind of gross. Not very healthy. No better than a fast food bean burrito imho.

Loved these! Used low carb whole wheat tortillas and low fat cheese and vegetarian refried beans instead of the frito-lay style beans. Very good! Thanks!

My family really liked it!! We used whole wheat tortillas, added chopped chicken, and I made fresh guacamole to go on the side with chips.

Yum - the family loved these. I used saffron rice and mango-salsa. I also added a tablespoon of low fat sour cream. Next time I'll use whole wheat tortillas. 500 calories is kind of a lot but when served with some fruit, it really isn't bad for a dinner and it was very filling.

This is cooking "light"? One burrito is 13 weight watchers points plus -- way to high in fat and carbs for a dinner that's a light meal -- probably better off getting a burrito at a mexican restaurant ...
