Healthy Burritos

Hi everyone! So I'm back with another recipe this week. I bought this book and found this recipe inside. I tried the original recipe, but Isaac and I thought it was a bit too healthy for our liking. So I adapted the recipe to our tastes and made it just a tiny bit unhealthier than the original version. To be honest though, I think it's healthier than most burritos especially the ones from taco shops or Taco Bell. We tend to have leftover meat from this so I'll be doing another post this week to show you an easy lunch with the leftover meat!
