#GreenMondaySA: Black bean burritos

12 Feb 2018

Burritos are incredibly versatile and can be stuffed to anyone's tastes. While meat forms part of the traditional burrito filling, it's Green Monday, so kick the beef and keep the beans in this quick and easy burrito recipe courtesy of Compassion Over Killing.
