These were delicious. I added some salt and a little cayenne pepper to the tomato sauce. I used 2 teaspoons of finely chopped jalapeno pepper. I also sprinkled a little salt on the veggies. Very unique burrito recipe and something that I will make again. Thanks for sharing this.

I made this for the first time last night. I think the veggies need a little spicing up. I added baked chicken breast (i know...so much for a vegetarian meal!). I used 3 cans of tomato sauce and 1 can of diced tomatoes. Next time I will use salsa. I forgot to add jalapenos...so there was not a whole lot of spice. The family loved that it was so healthy. Also...next time I will add more cheese and put some on top too.

I cut the recipe in half and still had enough for 6 burritos!! I used salsa as the topping but I think I'll use a tomato sauce next time with the salsa!! A great dish for vegetarian friends as well as myself. Thanks meow!
