Aunt Jenny’s Black Bean Burritos

My DH's aunt made these for us one night while we were visiting them--they are so good and easy! She made up a whole bunch and used the leftovers for quick lunches/suppers later in the week. They are quite filling, especially with the addition of rice. In fact, the bean mixture could be simply served over rice for a Cal-Mex beans & rice meal. Prep/cooking times are estimated. Using reduced fat sour cream and cheese, whole grain white flour tortillas, and no meat, a serving of 1 burrito has 6 points (WW).
