Vegetable Burritos

I take back what I said about eggs being the perfect food. In fact, burritos are the perfect food First of all, you can make ANYTHING into a burrito. I’ve even made burritos out of peanut butter, apples, and trail mix. Because let’s face it, everything tastes better when it’s wrapped in a delicious flour tortilla. Pre-made burritos are an excellent trail food because they are super filling, very portable, and pretty cheap depending on what you put in them. A basic rice, veggie & cheese burrito can cost less $3 per portion and is one of the most nutritious meals you can eat. They can be made in one pot and enjoyed immediately, or wrapped up in tin foil for a summit snack. You can also easily modify this recipe to make tacos instead!
