Notes
- You can swap ground beef with chicken or turkey.
- Add veggies like bell peppers for extra nutrition.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option. For restaurant-style burritos, lightly toast the wrapped burrito in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side. This adds a crispy texture and seals everything perfectly.
