Bean and Honey Burrito Casserole

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Bean and Honey Burrito Casserole). I have been trying for years to duplicate my favorite burrito from my favorite south Florida Mexican restaurant. I started making it in casserole form and was pretty happy with this one, a combination of beans with a sweet and creamy sauce. I have many variations of this, but this is the basic idea behind it. Serve with a side of chopped lettuce and tomatoes.
