Steak Burrito
It is rare that I am impressed with my own cooking. Do I love what I make? Usually, yes. However, I’m not one to toot my own horn and really take a second to bathe in the glory I’ve created. This meal, though, is different. This meal, I ate that shit up (the burrito and the glory). Joe and I got home from NYC with zero idea of what we were making for dinner and I am surprised and grateful, to say that we threw these together with everything we already had on hand thanks to our freezer, pantry, and some random veggies always stocked in the fridge.
Let me just tell you, you need these burritos in your life. Who needs Chipotle anymore when this is possible to make at home!? Don’t wait on these; I promise you won’t be disappointed!
