Spicy Bean Burritos


Hey everyone!! Just back from a refreshing Disney vacation :D missing all that Sunshine ...

Back to the Business... I have tasted so many versions of Mexican food outside but none was spicy enough for me.So I decided to give the tantalizing Mexican food a try at home. I made Spicy bean burritos with white flour tortillas, filled with spicy refried beans, stir fried veggies and cottage cheese. I topped the burrito with my favorite Jalapeno Salsa, Sour cream, fresh green salad and shredded Cheddar cheese.

Give these burritos a try and believe they will become your favorite.
