I love burritos, but the frozen types are so high in sodium, I created these. They're a perfect option to have on hand for quick dinners or late-night snacks-I've even had them for breakfast sometimes! -Laura Winemiller, Delta, Pennsylvania

These burritos are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I often add chopped spinach or carrots to the filling. They're so good, they won't even notice they're eating vegetables!

These burritos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best burritos he's ever had. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of burritos, but these were really good. The tortillas were soft and chewy, and the filling was flavorful and satisfying. I'll definitely be making these again.

These burritos are perfect for meal prep. I make a big batch on the weekend, and then I have breakfast or lunch all week long. They're also great for taking on picnics or road trips.
