Food Review: Amy's Cheddar Cheese Burrito

If you don't know by now, I'm a huge fan of foods from Amy's Kitchen. I love her Vegetable Lasagna and Stuffed Pasta Shells, and her canned Vegetable Barley Soup is really tasty and filling.

Sugar users juju and james bond girl suggested I try Amy's burritos. You can find them in the freezer section of most health food stores. They weren't too expensive - about $3 or 4 each - and they have a few varieties such as Bean & Cheese (I tried this one), Bean & Rice, Black Bean Vegetable, Breakfast (with tofu and potatoes), Indian Spinach Tofu Wrap, and Southwestern (with jalapeño peppers and black olives).

This burrito was the perfect size, and it was very tasty - not very spicy, with just enough seasoning. The pinto beans and cheese were mixed to create a soft and creamy consistency. When I looked inside, I could still see whole pinto beans, which is always a good thing. The whole wheat flour tortilla was wrapped tightly enough and never once unraveled, so I didn't have to worry about it becoming a huge explosive mess as burritos often tend to be. I also liked that after taking this burrito out of the freezer, it only took 2 1/2 minutes in the microwave to warm up. Amy's burritos definitely get a thumbs up from me. With 11g of protein and 6g of fiber, they're a great option when you need a quick meal.

Doctor Who fans had quite the Comic-Con experience last weekend. Matt Smith, who plays the eleventh doctor, and Karen Gillan, who plays the doctor's faithful companion Amy Pond, were interviewed by G4 and distributed Tardis burritos to audience members at the sold-out recording of the Nerdist podcast. The stars then, along with show writer Toby Whithouse, spoke to an excited crowd of over 6,000 people at the Doctor Who panel in Hall H, traditionally reserved for the most popular Comic-Con panels each year.

Spectators at Hall H previewed the Fall season trailer, which will premiere Aug. 27 on BBC America. Check out the action-packed trailer (is the doctor's time really up?!) after the break.
