Veggie Burrito Salad

This salad is like the pizza salad i posted a couple weeks ago,I've been expanding my lettuce and mixed greens since i hate them but I'm really trying to switch over to good greens. This salad is kind of like a deconstructed burrito i also did a burrito bowl in march, that was also amazing! Everyone knows Mexican food or Mexican inspired foods are my weakness so any healthy way for me to eat it is great!
