BEEF & BEAN BURRITOS



Beef & Bean Burritos image

Years ago I lived in Baton Rouge, La and frequented a restaurant called La Fonda's. They had a unique burrito that I loved. I have tried to recreate it with this recipe and it is very close. A difference is, I think, that they deep fried the tortilla shell where mine is baked.
