Excellent recipe! -
Is this the right picture? The picture posted with the recipe looks ilke it has cheddar cheese on it. -
Added half tsp more of chili powder and a tsp of hot sauce for more of a “kick”. It was messy to roll, but I’m not a good roller (lol). Turned out great and would definitely make it again! -
While easy to make found it to be bland. Put some enchilada sauce on top to add a bit more flavor. -
These burritos were really different. I loved the sour cream, cheese, soup mixture. This dinner was a hit.

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
