12 Mind-Blowing Burrito Recipes You Need in Your Life

When my hungry kiddos start circling the kitchen at dinnertime, they're always thrilled to hear that any type of Mexican food is on the menu. If said Mexican food happens to be a burrito of any kind...even better. Click through the slideshow for 12 mind-blowing burrito recipes. From chicken, broccoli and cheese, to sweet pork and even Frito pie, there's a burrito for all tastes!

Oftentimes, our burritos are far from authentic Mexican food. Sometimes they actually resemble more of a large wrap stuffed with chicken, cheese, dressings and vegetables. But the most important thing is that they are yummy, easy to eat and fun for the kids. Anything handheld is always a win in my house! Add a fun dunking sauce like ranch, sour cream or salsa, and I've sealed the deal.

Another thing I love about burritos is that they freeze well. Whether it's breakfast burritos with eggs, meat, cheese, or simple beef and bean, a freezer bag filled with assembled burritos, ready to be heated, are a lifesaver on busy mornings or weekday evenings. Just pop one in the microwave and you've got a hot, filling meal that you can eat on the go!
