Preparation time: 25 min.
Comments

If you love burritos but want to find a lighter and more nutritionally dense version of it, you will love this burrito salad! The combo of juicy seasoned beef, crunchy veggies, beans, corn, and creamy yoghurt dressing will fill you up and help you load up on protein too. Crunchy bits of baked wholemeal tortilla and shredded Cheddar give it a proper crunch and extra flavour too.🥗
