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.

DELICIOUS!! Even without cheese (I accidentally forgot) it was still good. We ran out of salsa so I had to use canned tomatoes (drained) but that worked out great. Even my non health nut husband likes these! Definitely adding them to our weekly dinner list!
