Every meal at my in-laws’ in a huge production – and we like it that way! Breakfast is an all-morning affair, lunch stretches through the afternoon, and dinner takes hours to prepare and enjoy.
I was put on lunch duty and decided to buck the ‘spend hours in the kitchen’ tradition by whipping up these easy burritos. I’ll put my hours in for dinner. 🙂
A few family members gave this dish a sideways glance when I placed it on the table, but one bite and they were sold! Spicy, creamy, and sweet, this burrito is a perfect combination of flavors.

After eating, we went on a bike ride along the intracoastal – beautiful! This is my favorite nature spot in the entire world, and I’m sure it’s easy to see why!
You can take the girl out of Florida, but you can’t take the Florida out of the girl!
These look delicious and filling 🙂 Yum. Scenic bike rides are the best!
