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.

905 mg of sodium, you have to be kidding! 505 Calories, and you wonder why obesity is rampant

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 ...
