Mexi-Ranch Bean Burrito

Working in the restaurant business for so long taught me many things, one of those being that during the season of Lent, hungry people tend to feel left out of the menu, because it like all has meat. I imagine vegetarians are pros at navigating a menu all year long omitting the meat. This burrito is for you... us... we.

(minus the dairy products and replace with dairy free alternatives for vegan)

I am not a complete participator in the no meat on Fridays and once on a Wednesday and so on and so forth situation and I'm not here to chat about religious beliefs, but I feel like everyone deserves a cheesy burrito to devour that doesn't need to have meat inside of it to be amazing. I actually was really uncomfortable typing bean burrito because it doesn't even have a nice name, but I promise you, it has SUCH nice flavor. Don't skimp on any of the ingredients if you can help it, melt it up in a cast iron skillet and yUUuuuuMMMmm
