** Fantastic Burritos **

Burritos are again a popular ON - THE - GO snack in the Mexican cuisine. It is generally made of a Redined flour tortilla and has numerous fillings made as per choice. The most common and popular vegetarian fillings are Refried beans & Cheddar Cheese. There can be a lot of add ons to it which include Guacamole, Sour cream, Salsa, Stir fry vegetables, etc. Oh I missed Jalapenos, Tastes super. :) I completely enjoy making and eating Burritos and I am sure you are going to love it too.


Tortillas, Refried beans and salsa can be made and frozen in advance and used over 3 months.
