It’s Family Dinner time: Burrito Style. π
My husband and his family love to get their protein from meat. However, I felt like it was my job to show them how good a vegetarian meal can be and how they wouldn’t miss the meat.
I served these creamy & crunchy, spicy yet cool, bean burritos.
Toppings:
- chopped fresh tomatoes
- spinach
- sliced green onions
- non-fat plain Chobani Greek yogurt (or light sour cream)
- reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
- salsa
I hope you enjoy this recipe! And if you have any meat-lovers in your family, this is just the meal for you to make for them to show them that they won’t miss it one bit. π

These look delish! Cant wait to try these
Your burritos look delicious! I love homemade bean burritos and it’s great that even meat-lovers enjoy them! If you like guacamole- you should try that as a topping, it’s amazing!
π I think quacamole is amazingly good. But, I think I’m allergic to avocados. I have to curl up in a ball for hours in pain. Not fun. But, I sure do love avocados! And good call for other guacamole lovers out there! It was certainly be a great topping. π
Your burritos looks fabulous and so full of flavour. Yummy.
