Beef and Bean Burritos

Beef and Bean Burritos

Beef and bean burritos are a popular dish in Tex-Mex restaurants across the USA. Today burritos are the second largest segment of fast casual dining in the US and extremely popular with college students. They are beefy, cheesy and oh so good. If you use good quality ingredients they can be a good healthy meal, too.
