Excellent and easy dish! I subbed the ground red pepper out since I didn't have it and replaced with a 1/4tsp of cayenne and a dash more of chili powder. I added spinach in the burritos, too, and topped with only salsa and avocado. Will definitely add to weeknight rotations!

This recipe was so easy and delicious. I used fresh corn since it is in season and wrapped my burrito up with spinach, salsa, cheese and a little plain yogurt in place of the sour cream. My husband combined leftovers with some scrambled egg for a breakfast burrito and I ate the leftovers as a salad with some spinach. Both were fabulous. We will definitely be making this again.

I absolutely loved these burritos. I only had a 1/2 cup barley so I reduced the chicken stock to 1 cup and it worked fine! It was great with the sour cream and salsa, although I think it is only enough to feel 4 or 6 people. But very filling for vegetarian!

This recipe is a family favorite. If you want to lower the carbs, you can eat this filling on top of some mixed greens, with some salsa, guac, and cheese on top.
