Expert Tips

Round out this family-favorite meal with a fresh-fruit salad topped with vanilla yogurt.

If the Mexican-style cheese blend is not available, you can use Chedder or Monterey Jack.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. Plus you can use the left overs for a delicious midnight snack on tortilla chips.

My husband doesn''t cook much, but he made this one and it turned out quite good. We used cheddar cheese, but I think it would be a lot nicer with a cheese blend.

I have made this recipe twice for my family and we love this. It''s easy to have these ingredients on hand. I love the flavors and gooey cheese. We''ve made burritos with the leftovers before -just added salsa and some extra cheese. It''ll definitely be part of our collection of family favorites to make when we need something quick fast and tasty.
