Burrito Pie

This recipe will always be super close to my heart. That is because it is what I was eating when I was in labor. It was the last thing I consumed before going to the hospital.

Oddly enough this is the piece I ate while in labor. I took a picture. I bring out my holiday stoneware starting November 1st. I went into labor and was hospitalized Tuesday, November 5th and had Logan on the 7th.
