What Are We Making Monday? Meat and Potato Burritos

What are we making Monday? Well Meat and potato Burritos, of course. This was inspired by a Taco Johns menu item. With savory chicken, (or beef), their perfectly seasoned potato ole’s, ooey gooey nacho cheese, combined perfectly with cold and crisp lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. So this is my version of this delightful meal.

I used to always make this with chicken, but once I tried it with hamburger (or ground turkey), I’m not sure I’ll go back. They are both delicious in their own right. Try them both and see what you think.
