Every Sunday, I sit down with my husband and we plan out the weeks meals and we’ve got a calendar for the fridge to help us keep track of it all. At the same time, we also make the grocery list to take to the market later that same day. As I was looking at this weeks menu, I noticed a particular number of super delicious meals on the menu and a thought occurred to me.
Would my readers be interested in more than just desserts?
So… I asked you. And 99% of you answered… YES! I post pictures of what I’m making for dinner anyways, why not take pictures and share the recipes too! So here my friends… is my first dinner post.
Salsa Roast Burritos. It’s one of our family favorites and the two best things about it… 1) It’s SO SIMPLE to make and 2) It lasts for TWO nights of dinner and maybe even a lunch or two for the husband! You can do so many things with this roast once it’s cooked… but our most favorite thing is to make burritos with it!
You only need two ingredients for this roast too. Chuck Roast and Pace Chunky Salsa. What you put in your burrito… well, that’s up to you! I like it basic… meat, cheese, salsa, tomatoes and lettuce. My hubby likes it with all those things plus sour cream and jalapenos.
And the BEST part about this recipe – it’s enough to feed my family of 4 for TWO nights plus lunch leftovers! Serve it with my fabulous refried beans and you’ve got an amazing meal!
Enjoy!
