That’s gr8! Well, I find the garlic cloves flavor very strong. Garlic salt quenches your craving for garlic and is not strong either.
That sounds great Ema! Thanks for sharing your tips, I’m sure others will try that too!

I prefer fresh garlic over garlic salt, but of course all ingredients can be revised to fit your needs. I enjoy this recipe because I like burritos, but this has less carbs, no rice and a lot less beans.
I’m adding some garlic salt instead of garlic cloves, hope it’s fine, as I don’t wanna use garlic here directly…
