This bean and cheese burrito recipe, like my homemade granola, is another one that I wish I would have started making years ago. They are so easy to make and are the perfect grab and go lunch.
110 calories come from the cheese so if you are looking to reduce calories more then minimize the amount of cheese.

This is great. I am going to try to do this over the weekend. I can always go for one of these.
So excited about these! I just made the slow cooker refried beans and wrapped up a bunch of burritos. I used the smaller 6-inch tortilla shells and made 19 burritos. I made them primarily for my lunches, but these will also be a great “hurry up, we need to get out the door now” protein-packed snack for the kids.
I just have to tell you how much I enjoyed these (made with your slow cooker refried beans!). I have had them every day for lunch this week. Makes it so easy to eat healthy – thank you!
Hey skinny mama, I’m just curious why you don’t use FAT FREE beans and FAT FREE cheese in your recipes…..or egg white etc. in your breakfast sandwiches? Seriously, you will cut your calories and bootie in half! ….yes, I just said bootie. Much love, JJ
So Easy! I just made a bunch of these and put a little enchilada sauce in each. They are in the freezer now labeled “Enchilada Pockets!” : )
You go girl! Let me know what you think.
