These were different from your average burritos. My husband and I really enjoyed them and we will make them again. We used refried beans and maybe sometime we'll try the baked beans. The only change we made was to use bacon bits. Oh, and notice that the recipe does not tell you when to add the bacon so, I added it to the meat mixture before putting it in my burritos.
