Use this recipe for "Southwest Mini Crescent Burritos", I appreciate the total ingredient list. I do like the Black Beans, so I will substitute Pinto Beans (whole & drained) or Refried Beans! (It's possible to season with Taco Seasoning-to brighten the flavor). I also enjoy using Montery Jack Cheese when combining with another set of Cheeses (It also blends well with Seasoned Sour Cream & Chopped Green Onions). Enjoy the reasonable turnouts of Mini Crescent Burritos!!! Smile for Luck!!! :-)

I made with whole wheat tortillas ...used rotel tomatoes as well....healthy alternative.

My husband and I didn't like this. There was way too much filling and I have a large bowl of it left. The taste was "eh".

Great idea, thanks! It sparked some ideas, so I tweeked away. And it was successful. I eliminated the meat, making it veggie. I used original crescents. I replaced the plain corn with a mexi-corn blend and added the black beans to that; drained it very well to prevent the bread from getting soggy. And to every other wrap, I added a light layer of refried beans. My topping was basically the same, but I used the Rotel tomatoes. They taste less sweet and have just the right kick. And that my fellow recipe swappers is why I call this a keeper...cheap and easy and delicious!

The garlic butter rolls were way to salty...next time I will try egg roll wrappers or flour tortillas. The filling was very good though.
