These burritos are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the sweet tropical squash and the creamy black beans.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my burritos turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the squash.

These burritos were a little bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some more spices to the filling.

I had some trouble finding tropical squash, so I used butternut squash instead. The burritos still turned out great!

These burritos were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think next time I'll use less chipotle crema.
