Review: I made these for dinner on Sunday and loved them! It originally called for cherry tomatoes inside but I omitted these - I preferred to have them on the side or not at all! I thought the bean mixture had a nice spicy, without being too spicy, taste. I'm loving those chipotle chiles in adobo sauce - they are perfect. The sour cream was a nice add too, and helped cool it down. Total winner and i'll be making these again!

I am glad that you enjoyed them! They are my "go-to" meal when I need something quick and easy, usually have all the ingredients on hand... I leave my cherry tomatoes on the side also
I like to leave fresh tomatoes out of burritos/wraps/quesadillas, too. Somehow salsa works, but I think fresh tomatoes just work better on the side. Great call.
And thanks for the cheese shout out!
