This is an awesome, tasty and healthy meal that is ready in thirty minutes or less.
One day when I was grocery shopping with the kids, they were giving samples of these. I liked them so much I have been making my own version ever since.
They are especially good made with my Homemade Re-fried Beans.

These are very yummy! Such a great way to add extra nutrients to my child’s diet. I added an 1/8 a cup of shredded cheese to each burrito.
Awesome Angela! Doesn’t it make you feel like a rockstar when you can get your kids to eat healthy food. 🙂 I am glad you like them! Cheese is a great addition!
