I was hit with flu-like symptoms yesterday and spent the entire day sleeping and I was aching from head to toe. If you know me, you know I am usually doing 15 things at once and always have a pretty packed schedule. So, dropping everything I had to do and just allowing myself to get some sleep was hard but necessary. I’m still feeling pretty weak so keeping this one short today.
We love going to Chipotle with the kids. . I’m all about the burritos and salad bowls and loved creating this one at home. I used lean ground beef which makes for a faster get it on the table dinner which works for everyone!
My kids will eat this minus the jalapeños and radishes but I love them in here. I hope you give this Chipotle Beef Burrito Bowl recipe a try!
