It’s no secret that I love burritos – so many options, so many ways to customize them, and always a crowd pleaser! For me, it’s all about getting creative with the vegetables.
This recipe is packed with vegetables and a generous amount of protein from the ground beef, and while this recipe isn’t meatless, it does rely on less meat, something that’s good for our bodies and the planet!
