Cutting Calories in Burritos

Daily Diet Makeover

Almost all the foods that make up a burrito can add up to big calories because it's easy to overload that yummy flour shell. The typical homemade burrito can contain well over 600 calories, particularly when stuffed with cheese.

Here are the biggest culprits when it comes to tipping the scales:

Typical Homemade Burrito:

  • Large flour tortilla - about 240 calories
  • 1 cup of refried beans - about 250 calories
  • Cheese - about three ounces of grated cheese for about 375 calories
  • Seasonings & Spices
  • Salsa

Seasonings, spices and salsa tends to be ultra low in calories - so that's the good Diet News.  Let's focus on the shell, the beans and the cheese to see how we can trim down our homemade burrito.

Flour Shell - Look for the smaller flour shells when visiting your local market which can range from 80 calories and up. Choosing wheat based tortillas are an even healthier choice.

Rather than frying the homemade burrito, simply warm or steam the flour tortilla, then fill with warm beans that have been mixed with the spices, seasonings and salsa.

 


Refried Beans - Measure out 1/2 cup of beans for a simple calorie-cut.  How easy is that!

Cheese - Again - measure out the cheese.  Use no more than one ounce and opt for skimmed mozzarella for 80 calories per serving.

New homemade burrito calorie count - about 300 calories.
