This is a great recipe. I fixed it for dinner instead of lunches. I used sundried tomato & basil tortillas. They turned out delicious! And it's very fast too. This is a keeper for me. Thanks! :)

I made these and immediately froze them (wrapped in wax paper and then put in freezer bag). I pulled them out, left them in the fridge overnight to defrost and then heated them in the over at 250 for about 35 minutes. They were great. Didn't taste like they had been frozen at all.

We made these and thought they were wonderful! I used a can of diced tomatoes & green chilis (drained) instead of salsa, and added a small can of corn, and some sour cream. They were so delicious and super easy to make. My husband wanted to eat the mixture right out of the pan! Definately a good break from meat now and then.

brilliant! great for quick dinners. Not great for my kids who aren't into spicy but me and my husband lvoed them. I substituted in hotsauce instead of chili powder (I was out of c.p!) but you can't really go wrong woth these if you like spicy food

These were good! I made them exactly as directed, but I found I only had enough for about 5 burritos. I think I used tortillas a little larger than called for. definitely good stuff, and just spicy enough (i used medium, chunky salsa). i added finely chopped onions, both to the bean mix as it cooked and to the final product. I recommend adding whatever veggies you have around too; I made them again last night and added some black-eyed peas and corn that I had leftover, and they were even better!

Awesome! We made these tonight for the first time, and it took hardly any time at all before dinner was ready. I made mine with spinach herb tortillas, and my husband used regular ones. Instead of making several small burritos, we each made a large one, and they were fantastic! We used organic, fat free black beans and El Paso Garden Peppers salsa (although that gives the mixture a bit of a sweet taste). We also added low fat sour cream to the mixture to make it creamier and used plenty of cheese. The result was a wonderful mixture of flavors that we have officially deemed better than our favorite local hip burrito cafe that we're always raving about. Thanks for such a great time-saving and healthy recipe!

This is a good bag lunch recipe... easy, healthy, tasty, filling... just what I am always looking for. And it can be easily adjusted to your taste. I filled my tortillas full, so it only made 3 for me (!), and I also added fresh spinach leaves and cut back on the cheese, eating these cold for lunch. The quality of these would depend largely on the quality of your salsa, and you could also perk them up with your faves (extra veggies, lettuce, tomato, cilantro... I'll be trying some variations).

I wasn't very impressed by these. I thought that the recipe called for too much salsa, which overpowered the taste of the beans and made them runny.

People don't believe me when I tell them how easy it is to make these. Pace Medium Picante Sauce is my favorite salsa to use for this. If you have any leftover chicken it's also really good shredded on top of this.
