    Just made these tonight, they turned out great. My husband said, “These are much better than Baja Grill.” He ate there last week and said it was pretty flavorless. But these veggie bean burritos had no lack of flavor. I used sourdough tortillas from the Gnowfglins e-course and they were delish!
