Hi! My name is Alli from Cupcake Diaries and I am thrilled to be sharing a recipe on Love Bakes Good Cakes, one of my all-time favorite blogs. Such a pleasure to be here! My blog is all about easy, family-friendly recipes that don't take a lot of time. As a mom of three young boys, time isn't something I have a lot of! I'm all about easy recipes. One of my kids' favorites is Creamy Tomato and Tortellini Soup. Throw everything in a pot and let it simmer! I started my blog five years ago with a love for cupcakes and continue to share easy desserts, dinners, and so much more on my blog. From cupcakes to crock pots and everything in between!
We love burritos at our house. Probably more than I care to admit! As one of our goals for the new year is to eat a little better, we decided to make burritos in a healthier way. All of our favorite ingredients are there but without wrapping it all up in a tortilla, we piled it all into a bowl. And it was delicious!
I was not sure how my kids were going to react to this version of a burrito. They ended up loving it! My five year old said, "Mom, this looks delicious!" I was so excited when he thought it tasted delicious too. Even my three year old liked it! The dressing is one that we love to make for a copycat version of Cafe Rio's Sweet Pork Barbacoa Salad. We lightened it up for the burrito bowls by using greek yogurt. And it tastes so close to the original recipe! Talk about a win.
