Who doesn’t love a burrito? There’s something about a scramble of ingredients tucked inside a warm tortilla that gets the taste buds rolling.
Unfortunately, burritos are usually associated with greasy unhealthiness. Right now, you might be picturing that carne asada burrito from the taqueria you frequent.
Even in all of its glory, you know that it’s going to fight your stomach a few hours down the road.
Hey there, don’t worry. We here at Fit Body have the solution to you burrito woes: the clean burrito.
