Wow! This was really unique stuffing for burritos, and everybody loved them. I tasted the filling beforehand and it was kind of bland for my group of eaters, so I added some jerk seasoning and some cayenne for kick. That made it delicious. I halved the recipe because I had no room or time for freezing, but daughter will definitely take the other half home next time! Half the recipe filled 6 burritos squeezed into a 9X13. My rice was leftover and had a bit of seasoning in it already, but it was from a Caribbean recipe, so the flavors blended well. With the added spices I will make this again, it is a keeper for sure!
