The tortilla wrapping was hard in parts and not as chewy and elastic as I want flour tortillas to be.  Also, as the burritos are rather small, they were wrapped two or three times around the filling, making them too thick.  <br><br>The filling itself was too spicy and too wet for my taste.  It had some nice smokiness, but it was otherwise under seasoned.
