    If you're looking for a quick and easy meal, this is it! These One Pan Crack Bean Burritos are so creamy and flavorful that you won't be able to stop eating them!One Pan Crack Bean Burritos

    This recipe isn't exactly earth shattering in its complexity but it's pretty dang good.  The best part about it is how stinkin' simple it is! See those 5 ingredients in the pan below? That's all you need! You can also play with the flavors a little bit here and still get amazing results. Not a bean fan? Use cooked, shredded chicken instead! Want it a little spicier? Use the "regular" or "Spicy" varieties of Rotel. Want to ditch the whole burrito plan and ladle it over tortilla chips and cheese? You've got some killer nachos!

    All you have to do is drain the beans and throw them into the skillet with the rest of of the ingredients-- taco seasoning, Rotel, and cream cheese. Heat, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and it's done! We eat ours wrapped up in tortillas topped with tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and sour cream.

    Note: I use the "mild" variety of Rotel because regular is too spicy for my kid's tastes so if you need things a little milder, you've been warned.

    So easy, delicious and the perfect thing to make when you have limited time and big, empty bellies to fill!

      My husband and I have been vegetarian for 8 years, I am always looking for good recipes to use beans and things we can eat! This is a wonderful tasty recipe. It is so easy, I had to pinch myself to make sure I made it correctly!

      Even meat eaters can make this and just add their choice of "meat." our choice is beans, lots of em!

      Thanks!

      Ohmygoodness these are amazing! Made them for dinner tonight and I'm hooked. I used ground chicken in place of the black beans, just because it needed to be cooked, and I subbed Neufchatel cheese for the cream cheese. Topped them with cilantro, avocado, taco sauce and shredded Jack cheese. Delish!!

      I made these and turned them into enchiladas. Added cheese and sauce, 20 minutes at 350. Amazing, so filling but not too heavy on the stomach. The cream cheese makes ALL the difference!
