I don't know about you, but there are a few "go to" meals that I make when I don't have a lot of time or if I am just feeling lazy. We usually have a taco night at least once a week. To keep it from being too boring, I like to do a "twist" on the traditional taco. I usually use turkey meat instead of ground beef and sometimes I make taco pie (I'll post that some other time). Tonight, I took big burrito tortillas and made burritos fried in a little butter (not the best for you but sooo yummy and crispy).
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 packet taco seasoning mix
shredded cheese
canned black beans
whole grain rice
flour tortillas (burrito size)
butter
Optional ingredients:
sautéed onions
green and/or red peppers
salsa
tomato
Directions:
--Cook the whole grain rice (sometimes I use the quick cooking bags that take 90 seconds in the microwave if I'm short on time).
--Cook the meat as directed on the taco seasonings packet and add the seasoning. Add onions and/or green and red peppers and cook in pan with meat
--Heat up the black beans.
--Get all ingredients ready and spoon a little of each into a tortilla. Fold all four sides of the tortilla up and put the fold side down into a buttered frying pan set on medium heat. Turn burrito after about 1 minute.
--Re-butter the pan after each burrito and keep frying until all burritos are golden brown and crispy :)
Enjoy with a little guacamole or salsa!
