Crisp Bean Burritos with Mexican Vegetable Saute

It is the perfect meal for 30 Minute Monday. And at a whooping $0.81 a serving it is a great budget saver. I like to serve it with this Mexican Vegetable Saute for a balanced, vegetarian dinner.

I do have a kid or two who aren’t big fans of these while the other two inhale them as fast as I make them. For the picky eaters I make a little quesadilla. I figure I’ve already got the cheese and tortillas out so it doesn’t make me feel like a short order chef. Either way, this meal will be on the table in no time at all!
