Quick & Easy Burritos

 I just had one of those weekends.  You know, the ones where you don't stop for a second and then you suddenly realize it's Monday and you're not even going to get to think about a break or mildly sleeping in for five more whole days.  Yeah, I had one of those.
First of all I did a booth at a vintage market called The Prairie Sisters with a couple friends.  I love doing this and it's only twice a year.  But it is non stop for a day and a half and requires a lot of loading, unloading, and moving furniture.  I'm not as young as I use to be, that physical stuff wears me out after a while!  Our booth did great and I walked away with a few fabulous items as well [I'll share them with you on the Home & Garden page].
During the middle of our show on Saturday I had to quick (and by quick I mean on hour worth of travel) drive out to The Ranch and snap some pictures of a couple horses we're trying to sell.
Once I got our there I saw my children who had been out of my care since Friday afternoon and in the hands of their grandparents and father.  I found my daughter wearing her skinny jeans (that are suppose to only be for school and church, not ranch work), a pj shirt that is a size too small, and dirtier than all get out.
I also snap a few pictures of these cute baby birds by our tack room.  Then I headed back to the market to finish out the day.  Sunday is always busy around here.  This Sunday I also taught Sunday school to the cutest two and three year olds you've ever seen, the three older kids had a birthday party, and I spent the afternoon editing a pile of wedding photos.
Needless to say Sunday dinner was not in traditional form.  I had  thirty minutes to whip something together, so I made these super quick and easy Mexican Sausage Burritos.  My Mom makes these and I love them.  It's just a bonus that they literally take no time at all to make.  These are also great to freeze and have later or take to a friend in need of a meal.  They are a great meal to make when you only have a brief moment to feed your crew.  Here's the DL...
Ingredients
1 pound sausage
1/2 medium onion diced
1 can (15.5 oz) black beans, drained
1 can (10 oz) Rotel or diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup sour cream
3 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
sour cream, sliced green onions, picante sauce for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cook onion and sausage in skillet until meat is cooked through.  Turn off head and stir in black beans, Rotel (or if you need it to not be spicy just plain tomatoes), and 1 cup sour cream.
Put about 2 tablespoons of cheese and 1/2 cup meat mixture into a tortilla.  Roll it up and place seam side down in baking dish.  Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Top burritos with remaining cheese and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.  Let cool for 3 minutes and serve.  Enjoy!
*These burritos pair wonderfully with a fried egg!
