These burritos are tasty and quick. They're great for an easy lunch with friends, or a low key family dinner. Tastes great with Rogue's Juniper Pale Ale or Maierfest Lager or Widmer's Hefeweizen or Broken Halo IPA.

Note: As you may have noticed I'm starting to do beer pairings with my recipes. As a beer enthusiast I'm always interested in trying to find great beer to go with great food. Any beer suggestions are welcome.
