Description

After a busy day, this is a dish that I can get on the table fast. The recipe came about totally by accident: I started throwing things together and soon I had a winner! Everyone who has tried these burritos goes home with the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve santa fe whole grain rice medley
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 3/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) salsa
  • 4 ounces process cheese (velveeta), thinly sliced
  • 6 flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
  • optional: torn leaf lettuce, chopped onion, chopped sweet red pepper, sour cream and shredded mexican cheese blend

Directions

  1. Heat rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, crumble beef into a 4-qt. microwave-safe dish. Add corn and beans; mix well. Microwave, covered, on high until beef is no longer pink, 4-5 minutes; drain. Stir in salsa and cheese; microwave until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes longer. Stir in rice.
  2. Spoon 3/4 cup beef mixture in the center of each tortilla; add additional ingredients of your choice. Fold bottom and sides of tortilla over filling and roll up.
