butternut squash and black bean burritos
I live in this really extraordinary place. A place tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
It’s a place where I hear the birds singing in the morning and the coyotes howling in the evening.
It’s a place where showing up to work in the same dirty clothes you were in the day before goes unnoticed.
It’s a place where you can eat fresh tomatoes and corn for one meal and roasted butternut squash for the next.
It’s truly magical.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself just to make sure this really is my life. I am so lucky.
I was feeling so warm and fuzzy today that I decided butternut squash needed to be on the menu. And hey, if you are feeling warm and fuzzy too I highly recommend making these burritos. Taylor ate three!
The highlight was the butternut squash of course!
We enjoyed our burritos with a little plain greek yogurt, lime juice, and salsa. They rocked!
