Tips

  • Use half of the spice mix in the marinade and half in the sauce.
  • Cook the rice in bone broth for extra protein and flavor.
  • Place meat/rice mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to help it thicken and make rolling burritos easier.
  • Reheat instructions: wrap in a paper towel, microwave for 2 minutes, then air fry at 375 for 6-8 minutes to crisp up tortilla, or pan fry.
