Green-N-Bean Burrito Recipe Video
A simple to make Black Bean and Green Burrito recipe.
You may or may not have noticed this about me, but I tend to repeat myself. If I really like something or something specific really makes me happy, I tend to express my feelings over and over and over.
Anyhow, my point is...I love Mexican food!! Love it, love it, love it! Would eat it everyday if I could!! The only itsy, bitsy, problem that I have with Mexican is that it is the one cuisine that I have absolutely no self control around.
Take me to a Mexican restaurant and I'm the first one dipping into the chips and salsa as I wash it all down my beloved margarita! Oh man, do I love margaritas! And that's just the beginning...chicken tacos, chicken quesadillas, crab enchiladas, and guacamole are all on my list of favorites when I'm going Mexican!
This brings me to why I am so in love this burrito. I can make it at home whenever I want AND it is packed with "good for me" ingredients...black beans, onions, peppers, swiss chard, and whole grain tortillas, so I get to enjoy some of my favorite flavors without the guilt:)!
