I kind of forgot about this burrito recipe my friend shared with me years ago. We usually do the make-your-own kind, but this one is super tasty and very quick. My husband prefers these.
I left the sauce off a couple of small ones to give the kids two options. My 14-month old ate both kinds and my daughter had mostly the tortilla and cheese part of the burrito along with the guacamole I served with it. She’s into tortillas right now.
I hope you enjoy!

These look great. I’m from NM, so I love that you added the green chili sauce. I hope you’ll join our No Whine Wednesday link up!

I tried these last night…they were yummy. I doubled the cumin and thought they might get a little warmer at 350 instead of 300. I added sour cream to my daughter’s portion..they were a big hit in our house…and so very fast! Thanks so much for sharing these. They remind me of the kind of smothered burritos you get in Colorado.
Thanks Stacy. Glad they turned out well!
These burritos look great. I can never find a good recipe for burritos. I hope this one works out!
These look good. I copied the slow cooker lasagna to try later this week. Your recipes you post all look good.
Thanks Mary Ann! Let me know how they turn out!
