Tips

• For a vegetarian option, swap ground beef for an extra can of black beans.
• Make sure to warm the tortillas to prevent them from tearing when rolling.
• Feel free to add avocado slices or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with a damp paper towel to keep tortillas soft.

Serving Suggestions
