Black bean and cheese burritos are a quick option for a weeknight dinner. It is as easy as opening a can of beans and cooking up a cup of rice. Brown rice would be the healthiest option. In our home we do half brown, half white. No judging here. You still get points for putting a home prepared dinner on the table.
