Kickin Red Burritos

These burritos are so good!  In the past the only kind of burrito I've made is the kind you add taco seasoning to and then roll up in a tortilla.  This was an exciting change of pace (yes exciting, I love food okay?).  Not to mention that if you're juggling a lot of things, this is still pretty fast and easy to make.  A great big PLUS in my book.  This also goes fantastic with tortilla corn chips.  I use them to scoop up some of the red sauce that's left over on the plate.  

Anyone remember when Wal-Mart used to have little concession like area in the back? They served slushies, hot dogs, nachos, and burritos with corn chips.  It tastes like that.  Wow, talk about taking me back to a simpler time!
