If you’re a child of the 80’s, you’ll no doubt recall the drool-worthy A.C. Slater from Saved by the Bell.
Well, I sort of had a crush on him when I was an awkward, pubescent adolescent. So, naturally, when I see a little blurb in my Good Housekeeping magazine entitled, “Mario Lopez’s Turkey & Black Bean Burritos”, I just had to give them a whirl.
It helped that I had just purchased ground turkey on sale, and stocked up on beans {so maybe it wasn’t just the reminiscent starry-eyes that caused that recipe to pop off the page}.
Regardless, they’re wicked good…and we ate them 3 times in 1 week. Yes, they’re that good!
Give these puppies a try!
