Buffalo Pesto Burrito

Now this one has an interesting story! I originally created this recipe while working at Trio, a restaurant in South Minneapolis. The idea was to create a burrito with only three main ingredients and to call it a “trio-rito,” a fun play on words. Unfortunately, the plan fell through and it never made it to the menu. But in the process of creating it, my family and a few close friends fell in love with the combination of flavors. With the spread of pesto along with fresh tomatoes, avocado, and buffaloed marinated rice, this one is a must try!
