Anyone who knows my youngest child knows that burritos are his favorite food.  Those taco or burrito seasoning packets are pricy, plus if you have ever looked at the ingredients, some of them you can’t even pronounce.  So about one year ago, I did some experimenting and came up with a great recipe from spices I already had in my pantry.  I use this recipe for either tacos or burritos; they are just folded different, right?  Our Cinco de Mayo dinner tonight was burritos with all the toppings and Mango Margaritas!
