“My cousin is of Mexican heritage, and I’ve watched her make these crunchy burritos for years,” writes Debi Lane from Chattanooga, Tennessee. “The very first time I made them for my own family, they became an instant favorite meal. They’re even better warmed up the next day in the microwave,” she adds. “A great leftover to snack on!” TIP: “Serve with Spanish rice or just chips and salsa,” Debi suggests.

Perfect! Can't wait to try with other fillings and toppings.

I substituted the ground beef for ground turkey, and used fat-free refried beans. Very simple recipe and very delicious. Goes great with a side of yellow rice.

These were very very good. I agree with another poster these are NOT burritos. Fried they are Chimichangas. I also think using smaller tortillas would be a better idea for a serving size. I also made the Mexican Chicken Meatballs to go with it. Salsa, sour cream and guacamole rounded out the dish with rice on the side. Will certainly make again and again.

My husband is very fussy about Mexican food, and he loved this. I would definitely make it again.

My husband and I love these! They're very easy to make and you can substitute different kinds of meat for the ground beef. We often make them with shredded or ground chicken and it's wonderful. These also freeze pretty well too. I always have to keep my eye on the freezer to make sure I get leftovers before my husband eats them all!

Husband loved this! I added more cheese, but otherwise followed the recipe. Very easy to make.

Have made this recipe many times. Making it tonight, in the oven 450 for 15 min. I also add spanish rice to the filling. Makes it a little healthier as you don't add as much meat.

These are so good I wouldn't make Burritos any other way. Thanks for the good and easy recipe.

The burritos were scrumptious! It was such a nice change from regular tacos and burritos. I really liked that I could make a beef and bean burrito for my husband and just a bean burrito for myself. You can do different variations without any hassle. Love it!

I made them using canned shredded chicken instead of ground beef. Much healthier and such a great taste.
