Buffalo Burritos

Buffalo Burritos

Indulge in traditional Mexican flavor with none of the guilt! These quick burritos are an excellent source of fiber, protein and zinc plus a good source of eight more health-promoting nutrients. And because buffalo graze on grass, it’s naturally high in conjugated-linoleic acid (CLA) — a healthy fat that promotes lean muscle mass and may help to protect against several types of cancer.1
