I love Mexican food, but it seems like most of it is just filled with cheese and grease and not very healthy. I created these Three Bean Burritos to be a healthy alternative bean burritos using refried beans and who knows what else. In fact, Don said he liked these more than the bean burritos with refried beans in them… win for me!
