BEEFY BURRITOS OR NACHOS BY MAGGIE



Beefy Burritos or Nachos by Maggie image

Burritos or Nachos. Pretty similar at our house. The main difference is the vehicle - tortilla chips or a tortilla ? Since we usually have both on hand we came up with this pretty close to perfect all-in-one filling for either use. It's simple and quick and really tasty. It also freezes well so make a big batch and freeze some for later. Opt to add any or all of the toppings .. no rules here other than enjoy :)
