The real eggs are a big hit with our
clients and also the whole wheat tortillas
are moving fast. I made these burritos
at the Siletz warehouse and all of it was
made from commodity products, except
the spices.
Beef and Bean Burritos
24 ounces canned beef, drained and rinsed*
10 tortillas*
1 chopped onion*
1 clove garlic, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained*
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese*
1 can tomato sauce*
1 sliced green bell pepper*
Instant mashed potatoes (to thicken)*
Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven
at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,
cook beef, onion, garlic, green pepper and
black beans in a skillet until browned. Stir
in tomato sauce, Cajun seasoning and salt.
Cook 3 minutes over medium heat.
Remove from heat and thicken the
mixture with instant potato flakes, add-
ing just a little at a time until it is the
desired consistency. Spoon ½ cup beef
mixture into center of each tortilla. Top
with cheddar cheese. Tuck two sides over
filling and then roll up. Heat a skillet over
medium-high heat with a little vegetable
oil. Fry the burritos until crispy. Recipe
makes up to 10 burritos.
