These Baked BBQ Burritos are one of those chuck-it-all-together jobs that delivers unbelievable results! We’ve gone all in with the BBQ vibes with a good sprinkle of BBQ seasoning, and a little bit of chipotle paste to add even more depth of flavour. There’s nothing fancy here, any pepper will do, and whatever onion is lurking in your fridge is perfect. If the beans aren’t your thing, you can easily swap them out for sweetcorn too.
Just try your best not to eat the filling by the forkful straight from the pan before it makes it into its burrito parcels and onto the table!

How many calories are in these Baked BBQ Burritos?
There are only 477 calories in one serving of these Baked BBQ Burritos, which means they falls into our Everyday Light category. These are all dishes under 400 calories, ideal for when you’re after a lighter bite (just like the category name suggests!), and they fit with diet plans like Weight Watchers if you’re calorie counting.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight, then you might want to adjust these slightly. You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray, and set on a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add the garlic and peppers, and continue to fry for a further 4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the beef mince, and fry until browned on all sides — this should take around 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, and add the tomato purée, Henderson’s, BBQ seasoning, chipotle paste, and sweetener.
Step 5
Add the black beans, then lower the heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes — until reduced and thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 200ºC and spray a baking tray with low-calorie cooking spray.
Step 7
Microwave the wraps for 30 seconds to make them more pliable. Lay a wrap flat on the work surface, and add some of the beef mix. Sprinkle over the cheese, then fold the two sides over the filling. Roll, starting at the bottom of the wrap, until you have a sealed burrito.
Step 8
Place seam-side down on the baking tray. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
Step 9
Cook for 12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wraps are golden and crisp. Serve 2 burritos per person.
What could I serve with Baked BBQ Burritos?
Baked BBQ Burritos are delicious all on their own, or you could serve these with lots of different slimming-friendly options! Here are some ideas:
How do you know when BBQ Baked Burritos are cooked?
You can tell your BBQ Baked Burritos are cooked when the beef mince has turned completely brown, with no visible pinkness (this should take around 6-8 minutes in a pan). The black beans will tender, with a creamy texture and no firmness when bitten. When it comes to the finishing touches, the wraps will be golden and crisp, with the cooked filling inside.
As per UK food safety guidelines, always cook meat until it reaches 75ºC and stays at that temperature for at least two minutes. This is to keep you and whoever it is you’re cooking for safe.
How long can you keep BBQ Baked Burritos in the fridge?
Once you’ve served up your BBQ Baked Burritos, ideally you should eat them within 4 hours.
We’d recommend assembling your burritos right before you want to eat them. You could prepare the filling in advance or store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for one day.
Can I freeze BBQ Baked Burritos?
Yes, you can! The beef mix can be frozen before assembling, just remember to do the following:
- Freeze it as soon as it’s cold enough.
- Use a container suitable for freezing.
- Don’t forget to add a label reminding you what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
How do I reheat BBQ Baked Burritos?
From chilled: Place in a microwave-proof container with a loosely fitting lid, and heat for 4-7 minutes — until piping hot.
From frozen: Allow to defrost fully overnight in the fridge, then heat covered in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. Give the filling a good stir. Cook for a further 5-7 minutes — until piping hot.
