guacamole

🥗Healthier: avocado mash

Using just mashed avocado reduces costs while maintaining flavor.

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Corn tortillas are often cheaper and gluten-free.

Start with 2 lbs of chopped beef taco meat.

Make the marinade with the juice of 1 orange and 1 lime, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper.

Mix the marinade in a bowl and add the meat, then cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare refried beans by mashing them in a pan with some of the bean soup and adding about 1/4 cup of water to get the desired consistency.

Heat oil in a skillet and add the marinated meat, cooking at medium-high heat until browned.

Spread refried beans over a large flour tortilla.

Add the cooked carne asada, chopped cilantro, tomato, onion, Monterey Jack cheese, fresh avocado, salsa, and drizzle with Mexican crema.

Fold the tortilla by folding in the sides and rolling it up tightly.

Slice the burrito in half and serve.
