It’s not a taco, it’s not a burrito. It’s the best of both. And it’s fun and pretty!
This is an easy “go-to” lunch because you can keep many of the elements on hand in your freezer. I always have taco meat, refried beans, and Mexican cheese blend in my freezer. And we almost always have everything else except maybe not the salsa. But these would be good even without the salsa.
These would be fun for the kids to help with because there is very little cooking and mostly layering. All those years of making you a meal out of play dough could finally pay off. And, since they helped make it, maybe they’ll eat it! I don’t know, it’s worth a try anyway.
So it’s pretty much take a tortilla and layer all this yummy stuff on it.
For spreadability purposes, I’d begin with the beans, then move on to the sour cream, then meat, then the remaining layers in whatever order you like. Take it easy though, you need to be able to roll this thing. Oh, and don’t go all the way out to the edge. You know what happens to filling when you start rolling stuff. It all squished to the edges. So leave yourself a nice little margin (about an inch.)
This is pretty healthy lunch; I hope you enjoy it!
