This was really yummy! I used a can of corn instead of frozen and used brown rice, but otherwise followed exactly. We loved it -- thank you so much for sharing! :)

This was SO Easy!!! I wanted to serve it in tortillas, so I added a can of refried beans at the end and warmed it all up together so it would be a bit thicker. It was GREAT! My 1 year old and 3 year old ate half a burrito each and then just some of the mixture alone. Will definitely keep this recipe on hand for aeasy meal that is kid friendly!!! :o)

YUUMMMMYYYY, I added a bit of sweetened milk, and had to use a can of white corn as I had NO frozen. A real hit thanks for the post
