29 Burritos that will make you forget about Chipotle

Burritos are one of our favorite foods simply because they are a one-dish meal that’s packed with a variety of delicious ingredients. And although we’re huge fans of getting them for lunch, we decided to get creative in the kitchen and make them ourselves.
