Introduction

This is another one I got online and found on several sites when looking it up for credit. Again, added here because we absolutely LOVED this. I changed the topping from lettuce and bottled salsa to home made salsa. I also added a bit of chili pepper. The original recipe also calls for whole wheat tortillas. We don't usually eat burritos properly, so I left them off. If you make proper burritos, be sure to add those to your tracking.
