These are very good. Making the filling was easy. My only problem was wrapping. Either my tortillas were uncooperative or I'm just a klutz. But even wrapped kind of strange, these are delicious. I will definitely try a different source of tortillas and make these again. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.

Super easy, with lots of flavor! Love the "bite" in every bite from the jalapeno - wow! I used ground turkey and two 15 oz. cans of pinto beans, drained and rinsed. I made a lower carb version, not by design, but because I over-stuffed the burrito-size tortillas and only came out with seven burritos. 20 minutes of cooking was perfect. There will be no need for trips to Taco Bell with these in the freezer - these are so much better!
