Quick Fix Beef Burrito Skillet

This recipe is GREAT (if you like mexican), it feeds a lot and is good and hearty and QUICK, though you may want to avoid your husband later since he will most likely be gassy.
Just a warning.

I substitute the beef for ground turkey, and the tortillas for whole wheat tortillas. I also like to add black beans and corn a long with the kidney beans. Get the chunkiest salsa you can find to add veggies and whatnot (I used Newman's last time and it was good) It is tastey! Add lots of cheese to make up for the healthy ingredients. Kids might like it more with some tortilla chips so they can scoop.

Yummy! I will definitely be avoiding the gassy husband after this one. Of course, that would mean I have to avoid him all the time!

That sounds really yummy! I may have to try that one, but I do like the turkey substitute! Thanks, Kalli!

girls, it is SO easy and good, and not too bad for you either if you do the substitutes.
