These burittos are very good and so simple to make.
Check out what my pals over at The Pioneer Woman had to say about this recipe:
” Then I got my second wind and made them (the boys) beef and bean burritos, which took exactly sixteen minutes to get on the table. And I cracked up, reflecting that it was but the first of what will surely be a week-long fest of brown and plentiful food.”
All mothers of boys need a second wind haha!

Thank you to TPW for this great recipe.
To make a dinner out of these I like to make a bed of loosely chopped iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and olives. Green or black olives can be used but I really like the sharp flavor that green olives add. Sprinkle a little more cheese over that and lay the hot burritos on top. Then of course you can add sour cream, a few crushed nacho chips, cilantro or more of the other options mentioned in your recipe or whatever you desire. You can use any rice for the bed as well.
