These burritos were a great way to use up some leftover rice and beans. They were also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I'll definitely be making these again.

These burritos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best burritos he's ever had. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

These burritos were easy to make and very tasty. I used black beans instead of pinto beans and they turned out great. I also added some chopped cilantro to the cheese sauce for extra flavor.

These burritos were a bit bland for my taste. I think they needed more seasoning. I also found the cheese sauce to be a bit too thick. Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe.

I've made these burritos several times now and they're always a hit with my family. The cheese sauce is so creamy and delicious, and the beans and rice add a nice heartiness. I like to serve them with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

These burritos are a great way to get your daily dose of protein and fiber. They're also super easy to make and can be customized to your liking. I added some chopped bell peppers and onions to mine for extra flavor.
