homemade burritos

raven1114

so i decided to make homemade burritos and freeze them. i made some bean and cheese and some beef, bean and cheese and then also made spicy versions of the same. they taste pretty yummy too now i just gotta figure out the cals and such for them to log it in. i'm also thinking of making some chicken ones with navy beans.

And I'm betting those bad boys come in around at least 350 calories each? Maybe more? lol

try 214.

214 calories for a burrito? Not bad. Do you have an estimate about how much the sodium is? I love burritos.

It typically helps if you rinse the beans you use in water, that lowers the heavy sodium they tend to have.

You can cut down on sodium if you use cumin in the burrito.

Seriously.

I think a good burrito is worth more than 350 calories. Any less and it's probably underfilled.

Burritos should be delicious and brawny.

I agree. 350 cals for a burrito and I'm thinking SCORE!

JediMaster_intraining

I want the burritos mr. abs posted (Acg67). Those look DAMN good. I'd portion one of those out so I could eat it for lunch and dinner!

Portions are your friend! Cut that thing in half

Back to the OPs burritos-I'm sure they are delicious, but I would probably end up eating like 3 of those in one sitting. I'd rather have a bulky 350-400 cal burrito that would be an actual meal rather than a 214 cal one that leaves me hungry an hour later.

@Acg67 -

Now THAT'S a burrito! :laugh:

Is 350 so bad? Depending on the amount of cheese they could be way less, but 350 calories for the main entree in a meal is still pretty good. I'd probably have two if it was dinner.

You're cracking me up!
