Fuzzyhead's Favorite Saucy Burritos are a twist on classic burritos. The green enchilada sauce gives them a unique flavor and the soy chorizo and refried beans add texture and substance. These burritos are perfect for a quick dinner or lunch. They can even be made ahead and froze for easy meal prep. The possibilities of customization are endless, with toppings ranging from sour cream and tomatoes to avocado. Serve with a side of rice or a salad for a complete meal.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Although not the healthiest meal, Fuzzyhead’s Favorite Saucy Burritos can be relatively healthy if made with quality ingredients. Refried beans are high in protein and fiber, which aid in digestion. Soy chorizo is a great vegetarian or vegan substitute for traditional meat, as it is lower in fat and calories, while still being high in protein. Tomatoes and green onions provide extra nutrients and flavor.
