Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Any type of beans can be used in place of the black beans, though smaller beans work best in burritos and wraps.

Spice up these burritos by adding a little more chili powder and cilantro.

    Made this the other day for my diabetic husband and we both loved it. So easy to make - I used leftover chicken breasts I made the day before. Will definitely be making this very often. Healthy and delicious!!
