                                According to the USDA, a standard beef and cheese burrito can contain over 900mg of sodium and 20g of fat, but that doesn't tell the whole story. So, are Mexican burritos healthy? Like many fast-food and restaurant items, the healthfulness of a burrito depends entirely on its ingredients and preparation methods.
