This southwestern style stovetop recipe from the Frugal Mom Menu is a quick and easy way to use up leftovers and canned ingredients that you have on hand.

Other additions that work well are corn and black olives. Although the recipe calls for kidney beans, black beans or red beans can be substituted.
Burritos Mojados
Burritos are flour tortillas wrapped around meat and/or beans. Burrito means "little donkey" in Spanish, possibly because burritos resemble the appearance of the bedrolls and rolled packs that donkeys carry. Mojado means "wet" in Spanish. Burritos without sauce are simply called burritos, but burritos with sauce are called burritos mojados, or wet burritos. This recipe calls for our homemade enchilada sauce, which is quick and easy and is less expensive than canned enchilada sauce.
