Copycat Cafe Rio Smothered Burrito // This copycat burrito recipe is perfectly portioned for dinner and so delicious! | Tried and TastyIt’s no secret I love me some Cafe Rio. This could be considered a “30-minute” meal. It’s so easy to throw together and so delicious. Making it at home rather than going out not only saves you money but it will also save you lots and lots of unnecessary calories. I’ve been calorie counting consistently for a little over a month and this is one of my favorite meals. It will run you about 400 calories, which is a perfect portion for dinner!
