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

    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!
