The typical American diet lacks important mircronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are found in whole-food, fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains. A diet that is rich in these important nutrients will help prevent serious chronic diseases, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, burn body fat, promote digestion, improve immune function, and protect against everyday toxins.
The typical burrito is filled with a heaping of unhealthy ingredients and wrapped in a nutrient-poor tortilla. This recipe is filled with superfoods, whole-grains, and some really yummy flavor that will help you get some of the micronutrients that your body needs! It's a burrito you can't pass up!

This sounds delicious! I would add a little chipotle powder, chili powder and or cumin to the quinoa or greek yogurt for some additional flavor punches when in the mood!
Sounds delish! What would you substitute for the yogurt if you don’t do dairy?
