I love
burritos and enchiladas but I don’t want to take the time to build them for the
entire family. This and the enchilada casserole on this site are great (and
quick) alternatives. I used mild rotelle and mild salsa in this but you could
make it whatever level of heat you and your family prefer.
I didn’t save
enough calories for sour cream tonight. Next time I will make a point of it.
That’s going to take this up a notch! Make sure you allow this to cool for
about 15 minutes. You know how refried beans can be nuclear hot? That’s how
they are in this right out of the oven. Plus, it just sets up better if you
give it time.
In the
summer, I like recipes where I can cut up a bunch of produce. I love that fresh
burst of flavor. In the winter, I’m fine with recipes like this or chili. The
ingredients are soft and warm and meld together perfectly. Next time I’m
thinking of using the pulled taco chicken Alex loves so much. If you like
burritos, give this a try – you’ll love it.
