Burritos might be my all-time favorite Mexican food. But then again, I do love fajitas! With these mushroom fajita black bean burritos, you don’t have to choose, you can enjoy them both!
Burritos are one of my go-to fast and easy dishes for busy weeknights. I rarely make fajitas at home, and tend to save them for eating out because of all the fresh veggies and chopping involved. Continue reading
