We took a look at their recipe and realized that it’s so easy to recreate them at home and with cleaner ingredients. And as a bonus, they’re made in the Instant Pot and keto-friendly!

Rhiannon loves to cook and bake but has also never said "no" to a takeout burrito (see, she's just like you!). Despite slowly running out of room in her cabinets, she continues to expand her collections of cookbooks and kitchen gadgets and is deeply jealous of people who can just "whip something up" without a recipe. When she's not in the kitchen, you can find her camping and hiking with her husband and rescue dog, Waffles.
