This burrito is a favorite around my house. My husband loves ANYTHING with BBQ in it and these are no exception. I feel like these burritos are magical because, while I know how to make them and I know exactly what is in them, I’m still amazed at how wonderfully the flavors meld together to taste incredible. I’ve shared these with friends and family members and, without fail, I am always asked for the recipe. I hope you can find the love in your heart for these too.
