Weekday Burritos


Ah, its been hectic around here lately. Preschool, swim lessons, Sunday School, yoga, jogging club, soccer and t-ball soon to start, vacation bible study planning...it seems to go on forever and my kids are only 1 and 4! What are the actual school years going to be like for my already over-loaded schedule?


These burritos are a life saver when you only have 45 minutes to get home, cook and eat dinner and get back out the door. And...the next day throw some taco meat over a nice green salad with some sour cream and tortilla chips and have a taco salad. Its all about versatility my friends!


Cheese Beef Burritos

½ lb ground beef
2 tsp chili powder
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed

¾ c shredded cheddar cheese

tortillas
