Baked Burritos gifI tried a few new things when making this, plant based ground beef and rice made from a blend of lentils, chickpeas, and other vegetables made these burritos vegetarian and lower in carbs than traditional rice. I also went with blue corn tortillas because they looked fun. The cheese I used this time was a blend of cheddar, monterey jack, asadero, and queso quesadilla cheeses but there are plant based options you can use instead for a vegan burrito.
