The link for the deli paper that you use says it isn’t microwave safe. Do you find that you can still use it in the microwave?
Jessica Fisher
It’s possible that the product has changed since I linked to it. I would recommend finding one that is micro-safe. I buy it at Smart & Final locally.

Made these last night!!!! So.super.good! So simple, so cheap????
I came away with enough to feed 7kids two adults with 14 leftover for the freezer and 6cups of healthier retried beans! Thanks for all you do ????
Jessica Fisher
Thank you for letting me know. Makes my job easier. 🙂

One more thing….if you are making spicy and mild burritos, rub a dab of hot sauce on the outside of the spicy ones. Then it’s easy to grab the right one!
Jessica Fisher
Great suggestion. Thanks!
karen
I love having a stash of burritos in the freezer. I usually toss everything together in a bowl then fill the burritos. We like rice, black beans, chicken, onions, and fire roasted corn (from Trader Joe’s). Add salsa or any leftover bits and bobs and you’re ready to go.
Jessica Fisher
I wish my people liked corn in things…. I might just make a batch for myself like that. And yes, mixing it all together does make it easier, depending on your fillings. I wanted to even out the chiles and onions, so I chose the layer method here. But, with my chicken, bean, and cheese ones, I mix it all together.
Sandra
I really love the chicken, bean and cheese recipe. Last time I made them I added corn and brown rice. It’s a family favorite!
Jessica Fisher
So glad to hear it!

Thanks for the info re: the truncated feed. Several of the blogs I follow have started doing that lately, and I wondered why. I’ll be honest, I don’t have time to click over to all of them, but I’m still following you and will click over whenever it grabs my interest. Thanks for all you share with us!
Jessica Fisher
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It’s not a decision I take lightly. I, too, am not a fan of truncated feeds. Know that I am committed to making the content worth your extra click. Please let me know if you have any suggestions in that area. 🙂

I keep saying that I’m going to do this and never have. I think it’s time to get off the stick and do it already!

These sound super tasty! In fact, I could go for them for lunch– they’d be a great, meatless treat.
Jessica Fisher
I was tempted to have one for breakfast. LOL
Jessica
Thanks jessica for your blogs. I love them both. I wish I could make a lot of the foods you write about but I have A super picky eater with texture issues. I have made your brownies over and over. Delish. I will try this for my husband the Mexican lover. Thanks again for the blogs.
Jessica Fisher
Let me know how it goes over!

I’m putting the pinto beans to soak right now!
Have a great weekend Jessica.

Bon appetit! A lot of commenters on the bean post said that the omit the soaking section. I’ve noticed that the longer I soak, the less gassy the beans are. TMI? I dunno, but that was a helpful discovery for me. 🙂

Just curious – what size tortillas do you use? I’m partial to the handmade flour tortillas at Trader Joe’s, but am afraid they’d be too small for burritos. Do I *have* to use burrito-size tortillas? Thanks!
Jessica Fisher
Ha! If you want it to roll into a burrito, yes, get the burrito-size. These were Trader Joe’s “no-added sugar”. 🙂 They tend to be more fragile than Costco’s that are rife with preservatives. So be it. If you don’t care if the burritos aren’t well-shaped go for the handmade. They are yummy, but I use them more for fajitas….
Cathy @ Chief Family Officer
Thanks, Jessica! I’ll give those no-added sugar ones a try. (Been enjoying your updates on that foray, by the way!)
Carla
I’ve also used fajita or taco sized tortillas and rolled them into the foil (or plastic wrap), not folding the tortilla. The insides don’t fall out because the tortilla holds it in. I hope that makes sense. 🙂
