These were good and easy!!! Best of all......I had everything right at home for them :). I thought the tomato sauce didn't taste right when tasting it out of the pan, but it tasted great over the top of the burritos.

These were really good! I scaled the recipe down for 2, using 2 whole grain tortillas. I just used 1 can of vegetarian beans, mashing half. I used a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. Thanks for a yummy dinner! Made for Newest Zaar tag.
