Easy Cheesy Beef & Bean Burritos

My 16 year old sister in law came to visit us last month. Day-to-day life with two toddlers isn't exactly entertaining, so I told her that while she was here I could teach her how to cook some basic, easy dishes. We were brainstorming some ideas of easy dinners and I asked if she liked tacos, to which she replied that she preferred burritos. I looked at a few recipes online and decided on what ingredients we should get. That night we created some pretty delicious burritos! They were basic enough that she could make them all by herself and they were tasty enough that they received rave reviews from the man of the house. Added bonus is that not only are they just as good leftover, they're a perfect hand-held dinner for my husband to take to work. Enjoy!
