I love burritos, but the frozen types are so high in sodium, I created these. They're a perfect option to have on hand for quick dinners or late-night snacks-I've even had them for breakfast sometimes! -Laura Winemiller, Delta, Pennsylvania

I love that these burritos are made with whole wheat tortillas. It makes them a little healthier than traditional burritos.

These burritos are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I always have a few leftover tortillas and cheese in my fridge, so these burritos are a perfect way to use them up.
