Super Burritos

OK this was a yummy easy recipe. I got it out of one of my new Better Homes and Gardens New cookbook 15th edition. It was pretty easy to make.


Ingredients


1 pound lean ground beef

1 cup chopped onion (1 large)

1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper (1 small)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon medium or hot chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup cooked rice

1 4-ounce can diced green chile peppers, drained

8 10-inch flour tortillas

1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (6 ounces)

1 cup chopped tomato (1 large)

2 cups shredded lettuce

1 recipe Guacamole or frozen avocado dip (guacamole), thawed

Bottled salsa (optional)

Directions

For filling, in a large skillet cook ground beef, onion, sweet pepper, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in water, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook about 5 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir in cooked rice and chile peppers.



Meanwhile, wrap tortillas tightly in foil. Heat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes to soften. (When ready to fill tortillas, remove only half of them at a time, keeping remaining tortillas warm in the oven.)



Spoon about 1/2 cup filling onto each tortilla just below the center. Top filling with cheese and tomato. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla up and over filling. Fold opposite sides in and over filling. Roll up from the bottom. Secure with wooden toothpicks.



Arrange burritos on a baking sheet, seam sides down. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through. Remove and discard toothpicks. Serve warm burritos on lettuce with Guacamole and, if desired, salsa.



Makes 8 burritos



I say my family gave this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars. The only thing I personally didnt like is it didnt have enough flavor for me. I think next time I will add more of something just not sure what lol.
