Have you ever had a bean burrito at Taco Bell? Refried beans are mixed with some taco sauce and wrapped in a tortilla, along with some extra sauce, onion, and a little cheese. It’s so simple, so I decided to make a “copycat” recipe for you today. You just need six ingredients and a little cooking spray, and one bean burrito is just 5 Green, 3 Blue, or 3 Purple MyWW Smart Points!
How the points compare.
Bean burritos from Taco Bell are super cheap, so why mess with making them from home? Mostly, because you get to control the kinds of ingredients you use. One bean burrito from Taco Bell is 11 Green, 8 Blue, or 8 Purple MyWW SP, and one made according to the recipe below is just 5 Green, 3 Blue, or 3 Purple MyWW SP. Plus, I actually think these taste a little bit better.
Fiber, fiber, and more fiber.
Sometimes I throw a recipe on Meal Planning Mommies that is chock full of fiber. Pretty much anything with beans is going to be high in fiber, but the tortillas used in this recipe are also high in fiber, so it’s doubled up.
Makes 8 burritos.
You’re going to love how simple it is to make these. The recipe does make a lot though. If you want to halve the recipe, you can. Just use these amounts instead to make 4 burritos:
Cooking spray
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
6 tablespoons red taco sauce, divided
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
4 Olé Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb 8 inch Wraps, or other 1 WW SP tortillas
1/2 cup reduced fat shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

What brand and where do u buy your reduced cheese at? I have been using Kraft ff cheddar cheese but it is 4.50 for a small package jumped up in price dramatically
Kristi says
Walmart has a fat free cheddar in their great value brand and it’s $1.88 a bag where I live in SC. It’s been a great find!!
Marlene says
Thank you I will check

Do you know what the calorie count would be? I don’t do WW, so I can’t translate the points.
Alisha Hughes says
One burrito is 205 calories.
Sara Stults says
What do you serve as a side with these? I typically go for rice but I’m looking for a healthier option and can’t come up with anything.
Alisha Hughes says
Hi Sara, we ate ours with corn. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Eileen says
What kind of red taco sauce do you use for the bean burritos?

These were delicious although we did not have taco sauce. They were a slight bit bitter but overall 5 stars!
Michelle says
My daughter LOVES Taco Bell bean burritos but she gets beans only.. no red sauce, onions, or cheese. Any advice on how to get my beans up to par with TB?
