Meatless Meals: Spicy Bean Burritos


I'd love to start doing one meatless day each week.  Not only does it save money, but I feel like our society regularly eats too much meat ... especially red meat.   Bean burritos are so easy to make, they're packed with protein, and even seem pretty meaty.
Best dishes and yummy dreams!
