I admit it. I have some weird attraction to frozen burritos. I can go for months without having one, but then the craving hits and I just can't stop thinking about them. Even though they are terrible in so many ways: terrible for your health, terrible tasting...just terrible. Obviously it is some kind of addiction.
Then yesterday I had an epiphany. I had tried making my own burritos before, but they just didn't satisfy the craving for the frozen burrito. Something clicked yesterday, though.
I took a can of pinto beans, drained them, and threw them in the food processor with half of can of tomatoes (the kind with some green chiles added). I'm just going to keep this mixture in the fridge, and when the craving hits, I'll throw a couple of spoonfuls on a tortilla, add a little cheese, and microwave.
I tried one yesterday, and they are GOOD. Surprisingly good. They satisfied my craving, and are probably a new addiction of their own. Thankfully I found some amazing tortillas with 12 (yes I said 12) grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein and only 70 calories each.
Nothing better than a healthy bean burrito. Including a frozen burrito.
I have really turned a corner here.
