Southwest Veggie Burritos


Hello! I hope you try this recipe, not only is it delicious, it is tasty too! But the best part is it is very simple and most of the ingredients you may find you already have in your pantry. This recipe is also is full of major nutrients and vitamins. And if you have a person over for dinner that does not eat meat you can serve this dish to them. On the other hand, if you have a person over that only eats meals with meat, you can add chicken, pork, beef, or seafood, it is your choice. Just by adding any one of those extra ingredients it changes the whole taste, this is a very versatile recipe.

What I like are meals that if in the middle of preparation, you discover you don’t have all of the ingredients, you can substitute. This is definitely one of those recipes. I have a friend that said she tried this with pineapple and loved it! Make this your own and add meat or other fruits or vegetables. It is open to anything!

My daughter helps me make this and she loves to pour the ingredients in the bowl and mix them (plus it keeps her busy so I can work on other tasks, Ha!). This also sets a good example to family and friends because people sometimes assume if it is good for you it does not taste good. This has all of the benefits; it has vegetables, fruit and meat (if you choose), grains, and dairy. That means if you prepare this with all of those ingredients you have selected all areas of the “My Pyramid”. If you are not familiar with the, My Pyramid, be sure and contact your local county extension agent with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. That is a contact that will have access to a wealth of knowledge and it is only a phone call away! I know if you give this recipe a chance it will become like many others on this website, a favorite of your families!

Best regards, Cassandra Coleman
