I LOVE this recipe. I usually freeze each one individually and then I have lunch for a week.

These were good considering they didn't require many ingredients and were so easy to make. I did add a dollop of sour cream to each prior to serving. This is a recipe I would make again.

I made this last night. I used about 8 oz of fresh spinach leaves from the garden, destemmed and chopped, and sauteed them with the onion and garlic. I served it with refried black beans which complimented the burritos well. My family loved it!
