This meal reminded me of Chipotle. The jumbo burrito shells. The rice. The meat mixture. The toppings. Wrap it all up. Mmm…
Only difference. This meal cost $5…and a meal for our family at Chipotle would be well over $20!
Well, that. And the spices weren’t quite the same. Just experiment and add whatever zippiness your burritos deserve!
