Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding spices like cumin or chili powder to the taco meat before cooking.

Don't hesitate to experiment with toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or avocado for added freshness.

For a complete experience, provide toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and shredded lettuce, allowing everyone to customize their burrito to their liking.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover burrito filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the mixture in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
