Beany Burritos

So, this past Monday ended up being a busy day and I had to pick one of the quickest recipes possible in order for everyone to be able to still sit down at the table as a family, which is very important to all of us. Dinner for the night? Beany Burritos. I tore out a section entitled M-F, 5 meals ready in minutes from Parenting magazine and decided to give one a try. This portion of Parenting magazine is now one of my fave go to areas :)  The only real work is slicing the avocado :) Very delicious and simple which is what a mother of 6 children is all about right?
