Chili Burritos

Jessica Fisher · August 13, 2009 · 4 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When my family is hungry, stand back. Things can get pretty crazy around here with four hungry boys, not to mention the FishPapa, wanting to eat. It helps to have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to meal prep. I love having meals stashed in the freezer and I love my crockpot. But, sometimes, you just need a quick fix.

One speedy recipe we enjoy around here is Chili Burritos. I was surprised at how easily my kids took to them. And they practically scarf them down. You can use canned chili in a pinch, though my personal favorite is homemade. Certainly, the canned variety makes for a quicker meal.

It’s a super simple recipe that is on the table in minutes.

    I would have never thought to put chili on a tortilla.

    I linked some muffins we call pop up muffins, essentially a german pancake baked in a muffin tin. There's no faster dinner I can think of than breakfast for the evening meal. Make some of these muffins, chop some fruit, and your favorite eggs for a meal.
