The ingredients for this burrito recipe are super simple and pantry or fridge staples: beans, rice, greens, enchilada sauce, and sliced avocado. You can use homemade or storebought; it depends on your taste. I do prefer everything made from scratch.

🔥HOT TIP

Cook on Sunday or Monday some type of bean and a grain (brown rice or quinoa) and I keep them in the fridge in air tight containers. 

This easy tip will make your life easier when it is time to cook and feed the family. 

I also try to double batch of any dressing or salsa I prepare.
