Saute the first block of ingredients and set aside. Then, saute the cabbage, broccoli, celery, carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, kale, garlic, and herbs in the 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil. Season with salt and pepper, add the first block of sauteed ingredients and stir together. Add the 1/4 cup of beef broth and stir. (I use grass fed lower fat ground beef…if you are using a high fat ground beef, you may not need to add the beef broth for moisture).

**If you are making these to eat immediately, then you’ll want to quick heat your tortillas in a frying pan as you assemble the burritos. I just heat a frying pan on medium high and heat the tortillas for a minute or so on each side. Then, add the filling and top with cheese, fold it up and serve. You can use any type of pan to heat and crisp the tortilla and do not need oil.

**If you’re meal prepping these for the freezer, then you’ll want to cool the ingredients completely before assembling. Then, assemble one by one and wrap each in a piece of parchment, layering the burritos in a freezer bag.

To reheat you can either wrap them in foil for a softer burrito or leave them naked for a bit of a crunch on the outside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for about 30-35 minutes turning once.

You will have a few plain tortillas left over. They store well in the fridge for a few days or for a month in the freezer. If freezing, place a piece of parchment between each tortilla and stack. Double bag and freeze.
