It was a good thought and I followed it to the T but this wasn't for my family.

I'm making this for the second time. Held a dinner party of 8 previously and it was an absolute HIT!!! Everyone loved it and it even made it into our local fitness training news letter. I opted to use the black beans as everyone else suggested but the pain was still in the mashing... this time my husband was the genious and suggested putting the beans/cooked onions in the blender with the water, then return to pan the spices/sauces. VOILA!!!! Difficult became EASY!!!! Yummy lunches for the next few days to come :)

I cut the recipe down to only one serving because I didn't want leftovers in case I didn't like it. But I loved it - served with salsa and light sour cream, it was tasty, easy, filling, and healthy. I plan to make more and freeze them for later, but will use less filling for each burrito, because it was huge. I used leftover black beans instead of kidney beans, Country Dijon mustard, and low-sodium soy sauce. Next time will use whole grain tortillas to make even healthier.
