Beef and Black Bean Burritos

This meal reminded me of Chipotle.  The jumbo burrito shells. The rice. The meat mixture. The toppings. Wrap it all up. Mmm…

Only difference.  This meal cost $5…and a meal for our family at Chipotle would be well over $20!

Well, that.  And the spices weren’t quite the same. Just experiment and add whatever zippiness your burritos deserve!
