Grilled Steak and Zucchini Burrito ohsweetbasil.com

We are getting quite a bit of zucchini out of the garden, as I imagine many of you are. The only problem is, I’m a little tired of using it in the same way. I swear there are 50 recipes posted on the same day for zucchini with quinoa, couscous, zucchini pizzas, and grilled veggie medley. Couldn’t we be making something a bit more exciting? Like, California Steak Burrito with grilled zucchini and corn, drizzled with a smoky crema, salty cotija cheese and spicy salsa.

This is one of those food blogger moments (and I have these quite often) when I would give anything to either make you try this dish yourself or I would even go so far as to personally make it for you. It is that fantastic. The grilled zucchini is absolutely fantastic, the meat simple and juicy, and ooooooooooohhhhhhh the smoky crema. I tell you what, this burrito will knock your socks off. It’s fresh and flavorful, and our new favorite burrito. Hands down.Grilled Steak and Zucchini Burrito ohsweetbasil.com
