I did once back in the 1970's. It was messy. Haven't done it since.

But I want it soft, for a taco. Yeah, I am lazy like that. Instead of
making it into a burrito, I just slap the beans on half, fold it over and
heat it in the microwave. Note that I am generally the only one that eats
them this way. Angela will eat them once in a while if we are low on food
or we need a super quick meal which is why I make them. Can't think of too
much else that is quicker. Probably quicker than a sandwich and IMO much
better tasting.

I learned to make these when I was pregnant. I spent so much time commuting
back and forth to the Dr. who was in another city. And I was a high risk
pregnancy. At times, I needed an immediate meal when I got in the house due
to low blood sugar.

I also learned that this can make a meal on the road, served at room temp.
if need be. Husband won't eat this but Angela will on occasion and I would
never turn it down. Yeah, I would likely prefer something a little more
exotic but it works for me.
