I used to have friends, that whenever they found out I was making burritos, would be sure to invite themselves to dinner. Or they would suggest they come for dinner and then request burritos.
I start by making some Lime Rice. I bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add 1-1/2 cups of rice. Bring to a boil, reduce, cover and cook till about 1/2 inch of water left in bottom of pan. Zest 1 lime and add with all of the juice of that lime. You can throw the lime rind in to finish the cooking. Pull it out when finished. (Pix 1)
Burrito Meat Mixture: Cook 1/ 2 of a medium onion in 1 Tablespoon of oil. Add 1 pound of ground meat and brown. I use mostly venison, but ground beef is fine. When it is cooked through, add 1 can of refried beans and 1 packet of taco/burrito seasoning with 1/2 a cup of water. Cook another few minutes, stirring, till well mixed. Turn oven on to 350 degrees.
To assemble: Lay a tortilla on a cookie sheet and lay some cheese down the middle. Use cheddar, Monterey jack, a jalapeno cheese or whatever kind you like (Pix 2). Cover the cheese with some of the meat mixture (Pix 3). Add the lime rice on top of the meat (Pix 4). Roll up. I leave the ends open. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes till ends turn brown.
Here’s the fun part! You can add whatever you like. Here are some suggestions:
Sour cream, chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh onion, salsa, jalapenos (or any hot peppers you like), lettuce, chipotles chopped, fire roasted chilies, etc.
