We're making 10 Cheesy Beef and Bean Burritos! Great for a Snack or Lunch, and even a dinner with a side of Rice like Mexican Rice or even Yellow Cumin Rice. These can be oven baked with an Enchilada sauce over the Burritos with some cheese, served with a side Rice. You can also use this same recipe for Cheesy Beef & Bean Burrito Bowls. Wrap any leftover Burritos in tinfoil to freeze and have them anytime you want.These are about the same size you buy at your grocery store at about 155 g per Burrito. Except these homemade ones only cost about $2.00 each as suppose to double that or more for the store bought.
