Directions

Grease a pan lightly with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil. Cook the ground beef and seasoning according to seasoning packet directions.
Add salsa, diced pepper, and beans to the pan. Cook for several minutes until peppers and beans begin to soften.
Sprinkle tortilla with cheese (If you prefer your cheese extra gooey, microwave or lightly toast until the cheese begins to melt.)
Assemble burrito with ¼ of the beef mixture, lettuce, and tomatoes. Top with Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Wrap burrito. If desired, lightly oil a clean pan over medium heat and sear on both sides until slightly crisp. Serve and enjoy!

How to Pack a Burrito for Lunch

Once you’ve built your buffalo burrito with the recipe below, fold the longest side in, then fold the short sides over it. Roll the sides continuously until the entire filling is covered. Lightly oil a pan over medium heat to quickly pan fry each side, holding the tortilla and filling together. Once off the pan, wrap in foil, cut diagonally, and store in a tall Stasher bag or in a heat-safe container.

How to keep burritos warm for lunch is one of the great mysteries of life. Many folks swear by a double layer of aluminum foil stored next to a hot thermos of water. You can also use reusable foil bags (like the kind pizza deliveries come in) to keep some heat.

Good Sides for Burritos

Little ones love to dip and dunk avocado fries, and guacamole is always a classic pairing. Keep the crunch with these homemade Potato Chips, or try this Rainbow Salad on the side for a pop of color.

Creamy guacamole is surrounded by crudité and pesto mayo in the background.

Vegetarian Burrito Recipe

Skip the beef and fill this burrito with black beans, refried beans, or roasted, grilled, or sautéed veggies for a meat-free version of this classic recipe. Go for crunch and sub-in your favorite southwestern style salad, or scrambled eggs for a perfect burrito whether it’s piping hot or cool.
