HEALTH & BENEFITS

Pinto beans are a great source of fiber and protein, making these burritos a filling and satisfying meal. The jalapenos add a small but significant dose of vitamin C and capsaicin, which has been linked to boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. However, the red chili gravy does add some extra calories and sodium to the dish, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
