Description

Ingredients

• 8 large extra soft flour tortillas (10/26cm)
• 1½ to 2 cups shredded cheese (I used Monterey Jack)
• 3 to 4 cups Mexican Shredded Beef plus sauce, tossed or separated (Note 1)
• 2 cupsMexican Red Rice

Directions

• Microwave half the tortillas very briefly to warm them up (15 seconds or so). This ensures they dont crack when you roll them.
• Place 1 tortilla on a workbench - cover the rest with a tea towel to keep them warm.
• Place cheese down the middle of the tortilla, then top with ⅓ cup of beef then ¼ cup rice.
• Roll the burrito up. (Note 2) Wrap in foil to hold it together.
• If you are serving it immediately, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the burritos for around 4 to 5 minutes on each side to make the tortilla brown and heat the inside through.
• If freezing, place in the freezer. To reheat, you can either bake from frozen (with foil on) at 350F/180C for about 40 to 45 minutes, or thaw and cook in the skillet per above. You could microwave it (remove the foil) but I like my burritos a bit crispy!
