Vegetarian Black Bean Burritos

In keeping with the vegetarian theme this month I decided to make vegetarian burritos and black beans seemed to be the most filling option. I searched online for recipes and decided on this one from All Recipes.com because it incorporates red peppers, onions, and cilantro, all flavors that hubby and I really like. 


These burritos were really creamy and had great southwestern flavor. They were even good leftover the next day at lunch. If you are trying to to eat less meat or like black beans then you should definitely give these burritos a try.
