This was my first time trying one of Amy’s burritos. The bean and rice burrito sounded like a good bet for a vegan version. I was a little surprised at the calorie count for it though because at 320 calories it’s way more than a snack, but the burrito is fairly small so it looks more like a snack or part of a meal.
Nutritional Info and ingredients.
It tastes pretty standard for a pinto bean and rice burrito, good, but not amazing. It’s a little too high in fat and sodium for my liking, but maybe for a small meal it will work for others. It reheats really easily which makes it an easy meal. I think I will make a recipe for this myself because it’s pretty simple to create. 🙂
Here’s my overall review score.
Basic Nutritional Info:Â 300 calories 8 grams of fat 24% fat by calories 10 g of protein
Price:Â $1.98 USD Â In Canada about $4
Taste:Â 4/5
Texture:Â 4/5, tortillas is a little dry but that’s to be expected in lower fat tortillas

Looks:Â 4/5
Low fat:Â No, medium fat recipe
Vegan:Â Yes
Gluten Free:Â No

Would I eat it again? Yes, but I think I’m more apt to make one myself.
What could be improved? Use less oil in the recipe and lower the sodium content. It’s a little too high to be considered health food.
