The pineapple salsa in these hearty burritos gives you a taste of the tropics on a chilly day. Stuffed with black beans, butternut squash and spinach, they're a nutritious, delicious and fun dinner for any night. —Deanna McDonald, Grand Rapids, Michigan



Test Kitchen Tips
  • If you're short on time, use one 12-oz. package of frozen winter squash instead of a small butternut squash; heat according to package directions.
  • The black bean mixture can be heated in the microwave.
  • For a subtle change in flavor, try mango salsa instead of pineapple salsa.
