Knock-off Chipotle Burritos (Revised)

Leave a comment

How many of you are huge fans of Chipotle but don’t have one near you?  Our family has to drive at least 45 minutes away if we are craving one of their tasty burritos.  So, I thought,”Why not just make them myself  from the comfort of my own kitchen?”  If you ask me, they were pretty close to the amazing taste of Chipotle.
