We love the good old fashioned microwave burritos you buy at the store. When I found out I could make a better alternative at home, I was all over it (especially since I know what I'm eating that way!). This is a fun dinner that's easy and tasty. My husband loves the baked aspect and the simplicity is wonderful for a day when you don't feel like getting into a whole "ordeal". Enjoy! -
These burritos were great tasting. The prep time is more like 30-35 minutes for us anyway. We used whole wheat tortillas. We will make them again.
