Something about summer makes me lazy in the kitchen. The idea of dirtying multiple dishes is unappealing – I just want to be done as fast as possible!
Enter: Burritos and burrito bowls. 2Chili favors burritos, whereas I really just like the filling with some brown rice or bulgur. I threw this recipe together the other night from ingredients we had on hand, and it met both of our requirements! 15 minutes start-to-finish, and delish!
