Well, I made this 2 ways because the ingredient list lists cheese and the instructions say to bake until cheese is melted... but don't say where to put the cheese. So, I made this one time with the cheese in the burrito and one time with the cheese sprinkled on top. Both ways were great, though we were partial to the cheese being baked on top. The sauce is spicy, but not too hot... and tempers the creamy black beans. Served this with guacamole and diced tomato. Requires a fork to eat gracefully.... it's a rich, saucy, cheesy, yummy mess that makes you want to lick your plate!

I made this recipe with the cheese on top...and it still came out great...next time please specify in the instructions where to insert the cheese it may seem minimal, but to a novice cook direction is everything..but all in all a great recipe

I made this for dinner tonight using 2 jalapenos and 2 sweeter peppers. I also used low fat cheese and low carb tortillas. I didn't mash the beans very much because I don't care for the texture of them. We assembled the burritos and topped them with the cheese before putting them in the oven. Served them with homemade salsa and low fat sour cream. It was a terrific meal that the whole family enjoyed.

I skipped the jalapenos and did some without cheese to be vegan. Even without cheese they were very yummy although I hope to try it with soy cheese next time. Will definitely make this recipe a part of the dinner rotation.

Pretty good. Served with salsa, guac, and sour cream. Used WW tortillas and cut down to two jalapenos, since four seemed like a lot to me. I don't know if my peppers were extra hot, but I think even two were too much for us. I think I'll make it with one next time, and maybe add more cheese. Thanks for sharing!
