Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @yellow onion{2%unit}(thinly sliced). Drain and rinse @kidney beans{1%box}(drained and rinsed). Core, seed, and dice @roma tomato{2%unit}(diced). Thinly slice @romaine lettuce{2%unit}(thinly sliced). Hint: If your romaine looks like it has suffered from a bit of wear and tear, peel off and discard the outer leaves. Place in a bowl of water and it'll perk right up!

Heat a large drizzle of @olive oil{5%tsp} in a #large pan{} over high heat. Add @ground beef{16%oz} to the pan. Cook, breaking up the meat into pieces, until browned. Season with @salt{}(to taste) and @pepper{}(to taste). Remove from pan and set aside.

Sauté the veggies: Add the onions and a large drizzle of oil to the pan. Cook, tossing, for ~{7%minutes}, until softened and slightly charred. Add @Southwest Spice Blend{2%tbsp} to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.

In a #medium bowl{}, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until almost smooth. Add the beef and beans to the pan. Stir to combine. Stir in @crushed tomatoes{1%box}, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then remove pan from heat. If your kids don’t like spiciness, set aside half the filling before stirring in as much @chipotle powder{1%tsp} as you can handle.

Fill each @whole wheat tortilla{8%unit} with the beef mixture, then fold in the sides and roll up. Place each rolled burrito into a #large baking dish{} (you may need two). Sprinkle with @cheddar cheese{½%cup}. Place in the oven for about ~{5%minutes}, until cheese is melted.

Make the lime crema and toss the salad: While the burritos bake, zest and cut @lime{1%unit} into wedges. In a #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{4%tbsp}, lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. In a #large bowl{}, toss the romaine lettuce and tomatoes with a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of oil. Season both to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
