This baked bean burrito is my sisters recipe, well it, was :))) These are sooo easy, delicious, economical and make a large batch!
When my sister first introduced me to this recipe, I thought, "what the heck!" Refried beans? Who would eat those?! But I was polite and... they were delicious! Over the years, the recipe has evolved and become my own. To keep them "Clean" choose a low/no fat refried bean. The average can of refried beans is loaded in fat. The great thing about theses is that you can freeze them individually for "Clean' meals on the go. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do : )
