Tonight's Dinner - Two Squash Burritos

[Guest guest]

This was pretty good. The original recipe that I adapted this from had

potatoes and corn in the burritos too. I was trying to lower the carbs a bit

by omitting them - both high carb items. My DH liked these. Didn't complain,

knew it was good.

 

I garnished with some sour cream that was mixed with some leftover roasted

jalapeno pesto and that really made it yummy and spicy.

 

I guess you could mix the sour cream with some chili powder or some salsa

and do something similar.
