This recipe was delicious and SUPER easy! My whole family liked it. I used whole grain tortillas, and served it with mexican rice, which we ended up putting the rice into the burritos and it was wonderful!

Yummy ! This is an awesome alternative for burritos. So easy and tasty. I add extra salsa and lots of chili powder, about 2-3 tbsp. I don't add the beans.

This recipe is about being quick and easy...use your head if you want more spice add more spice. Those of that are very busy and want to make a quick meal can appreciate this.

I made these burritos for the first time tonight and they were delicious! Nothing fancy, of course, but they were very simple to make and the taste was above average... of course we put alot of seasoning on it though, including oregano, pepper, garlic powder and seasoned salt.. but mm. even my 2 year old enjoyed it.

This was a great, quick, and easy recipe that will be used in the future. I did add my own twist to it. I bought just over a pound of ground beef and seasoned it with Lawry's seasoning salt, pepper, oregano, and a dash of garlic salt. Once the meat was done & drained, I added one packet of chipotle taco seasoning, about 3 tablespoons of water, the salsa, and refried beans (w/green chiles). I forgot the mexican blend cheese so I used what I had on hand. Fixed Spanish rice as a side along with the lettuce, tomato, & sour cream toppings. Mmmm, mmm, good!

This is a great basic recipe. It's so quick and easy for a weeknight when cooking seems like too much work (and we all have those nights). This is a go-to, busy weeknight recipe that you can doctor up with whatever you like to your own tastes. Thanks!

This is a really good idea and is a great basic recipe like the description says. I spiced mine up a lot and it turned out great. I did try it plain and it was good, too and it works well when the pantry is running low. As far as "What happened to fresh ingredients and fresh spices and herbs?" get real! fresh is awesome, but when I'm in a hurry I don't have time for all that. Not every one here has the time or skill to do those things. You have to keep in mind that less skill = more time.

This was so simple and not spicy! I loved it. I can't eat spicy foods and I have little ones who don't like spicy foods so this was perfect. I did tweek it a little tho - I added burrito seasoning instead of the garlic & oregano. I also added some of the cheese inside the burrito itself and I added lettuce and tomatoes on top of it.

I think this recipe is a great start. I gave it 4 stars because it gave me a good basis and practically everything to start with. This was my first time making burritos ever. I basically followed the recipe exactly except that I added a few things. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, used the oregano and garlic powder as well but I added my own favorite seasoning which is goya adobo all purpose seasoning with pepper to give it more flavor. As well as a cheap taco seasoning which I picked up at the local supermarket. On top of the refried beans I added canned black beans and some white rice I previously made. I think it came out great I'll definitely make it again. I also have enough to last practically all week. And instead of store bought tortillas I made my own from scratch with a recipe from this site. They came out perfect I'm really proud for it to be my first time.

Very, very good. See notes for alterations to recipe. To serve, after wrapping the burritos, microwave again for 30 sec. to 1 min. to heat the tortilla shells. Serve topped with sour cream, salsa, chopped green onions, etc.

Garlic powder, dried oregano, prepared salsa? What happened to fresh ingredients and fresh spices and herbs? This recipe is very bland and boring. 1 star because that is the min I could give.

It's more than a 'nice try'. If you look at the list of ingredients, it doesn't have a lot of spice. A pkg of taco seasoning goes a long way if that's what you're used to. Taste the meat mixture before you make the burrito's...add seasoning accordingly. This is a 15 minute recipe, it's not meant to be gourmet, but if you're looking for a quick, filling recipe, this is good. As the description says, it's a basic recipe. Jalapeno cheese, salsa, and sour cream make an excellent addition in my opinion.

This was a very basic recipe and may have great potential but I don't think that we will use it again. The meat is very bland and when mixed with the beans, even blander. I will just stick to the packaged burrito seasoning (and if I don't have any on hand I won't make burritos!) Maybe someone else will be able to spice it up more.
