Hulk Burrito (Makes 4 servings)

Here is a packed burrito with lots of goodies even the Hulk would be proud of. This is a great meal for after a heavy workout (like the leg workout above) to help repair all those broken-down muscles.
This can be a pretty quick recipe to dish up if you have the right equipment. For example, I use a pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot, to cook my rice while I cook the ground beef on the stove simultaneously. If you don’t have that, it’s not an issue, it just may take you a little longer to cook each ingredient.
Ingredients:
- 1 lbs. – Ground Beef
- 1 – Taco Seasoning Packet
- 1 Cup – Jasmine Rice
- 8 – Spinach tortillas (or any you prefer)
- 1 Tbsp – Olive oil
- 1 – Green Bell Pepper
- 1 – Red Bell Pepper
- 1 – Avocado
NOTE: You may add additional/substitute/remove any ingredients you wish. Just update the calories and macros if you are tracking your intake.
Step 1: I always like to start by prepping the veggie first. Start with cutting the green and red peppers into strips and slicing the avocado.
Step 2: Place the rice inside a pressure cooker or rice cooker and follow directions for cooking instructions based on your device. Otherwise, cook rice in a large skillet based on cooking instructions listed on the rice bag/box.
Step 3: Cook the ground beef in a large skillet until completely cooked through, then drain the fat. Add taco seasoning as described on packet, or simply add seasoning to taste.
Step 4: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add and cook the red and green bell peppers until you reached your desired texture. I like mine a little crispy. Add salt and pepper to taste while cooking.
Step 5: Heat up the tortillas so they are soft on the stove or in the microwave (stove will taste better). This shouldn’t take no longer than 30 seconds.
Step 6: Take 2 tortillas and lay one over the other where only half of the top tortilla is laying on top of half of the bottom tortilla (like in the photo) Divide the ground beef, rice, avocado and bell peppers evenly into four. Take one serving of each and add it onto the tortillas. Roll the burrito and enjoy!
