This is now my go to recipe… MrB LOVES this and asks for it more than once a week. I don’t but it’s so easy. I often have kidney beans so I just use those and I make brown rice as well. there are many ways to make this a different burritto but MrB keeps asking for the same!

Why not just skip the beef entirely? It’s not like it’s needed for protein since the black beans are there. With all the other good things in the burritos, these would be plenty filling.

Made these for dinner last night. They were delicious and a hit with the family. I added some onions and used fire roasted diced tomatoes. Definitely a 5-star. Thanks for sharing

Just whipped this up for lunch with leftover roast beef instead of ground beef, and a can of Rotel instead of diced tomatoes. Quick, easy and delicious! Thanks!

Yum! This looks delish and is something I could actually get my picky hubby to eat! Would brown rice be ok to use instead? That’s all we eat at my house anymore!

I could have Mexican every day and never get sick of it – thanks for the recipe!

Yum! I love to make Chipotle at home. I wish I could re-create the red hot sauce though! I’m sure it involves rehydrating chipotle peppers, blitzing them along with some vinegar, maybe garlic, but I’ve tried that and came up with a different (albeit yummy) sauce entirely.
Yes, the rice has lime and cilantro. Easy to make – Put a tablespoon of oil and/or butter in your saucepan and heat to medium heat. Add rice, and stir in the oil for a few minutes, until the grains are starting to absorb the oil. Squeeze the juice of a lime in, and then pour in water and salt, and allow to steam until rice is done. Then, fluff rice and stir in cilantro. Ta-da!

Sounds delish! You could dress up the black beans a bit by adding some caramelized onions without jacking up the price. mmm. Can’t believe you had canned diced tomatoes for so cheap! I think anything less than $1 is a good deal! But since I grow my own in the summer I could still make your price.

Ugh, now I’m hungry – it’s after 10pm, I already have heartburn, and I want nothing more than to drive 20 miles to pick up some Mexican food – I’m totally making these soon, even if it will be for myself! ;o)
