Two organic Tex-Mex snacks from a frozen burrito leader

Bucking the football-sized burrito, Evol recently introduced a new line of minis to its roster of made-from-scratch frozen burritos and wraps. The three-ounce portions are made with the same all-natural and organic ingredients that the fast-growing company has always relied on for its products, including sustainable, antibiotic-free beef sourced from Niman Ranch and cage-free chicken from Petaluma Poultry.

Available in five flavors, the pocket-sized snack options include classic shredded beef blended with Monterey jack cheese, and two chicken and bean offerings—one with rice, and one without. For vegetarians, there’s a bean and sharp cheddar combination, while vegans will appreciate the bright blend of sauteed vegetables, rice and salsa in the Veggie Fajita burrito. Usual cooking time in a microwave takes less than a minute, with 160-190 calories per burrito.

Yielding even more healthy choices to stock your freezer with this winter, Evol (which is love spelled backwards) also launched a new series of burrito bowl entrees last month, specifically with gluten-free and low-sodium eaters in mind.

The mini burritos are available at most Whole Foods stores, while the burrito bowls can be found at grocery stores nationwide.
