Quesada Burritos Beyond Meat Recipe
Quesada’s house-made recipe for the Beyond Meat burrito combines an authentic blend of Mexican flavours with the spicy heat of Habanero pepper. Likewise, the Beyond Meat Burrito can be customized with an array of options. This includes their homemade Mexican slaw, famous guacamole and made fresh daily Mexican salsas.
Beyond Meat’s 100% plant-based Feisty Crumbles are made from pea protein. The product is the only gluten-free and soy-free crumble on the market. Furthermore, it has half the saturated fat of ground beef and no cholesterol or antibiotics. The crumbles are made using simple plant-based ingredients.
