Have you ever had one of those "Homewreckers" from Moe's Southwest Grill? Well, this is my version and boy is it just as delicious (or more)! Since I already had chopped jalapenos and cilantro on hand from earlier today, I decided nothing must go to waste.
These burritos are super easy to make....and they went along nicely with the homemade salsa.
Ingredients:
1 package 8" flour tortillas
1 lb. ground beef
4 jalapenos, diced
small onion, diced
lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, chopped
small bunch of cilantro, chopped
1 C white rice
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
cheese, shredded (monterrey jack is fabulous)
avocado, sliced
Spices:
cumin
anaheim chili powder
garlic salt
pepper
Directions: Put rice in small pot along with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to boiling point. Immediately reduce heat and cover. In a sautee pan, brown ground beef. Add onions and 1/2 of chopped jalapenos midway through cooking and sautee with meat. Season to taste with cumin, chili powder, garlic salt and pepper. Drain grease and set aside. Once rice is tender (after 20 minutes or so), spoon into clean sautee pan over medium heat. Add just enough tomato sauce to color the rice (maybe half the can) and sautee for a minute or two. Mix constantly so rice doesn't burn and stick to pan. Season to taste with chili powder and cumin. Remove from heat and spoon into bowl. Place tortillas on a microwave safe plate. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and heat 30 seconds. Take one tortilla and layer ingredients in this order: beef, rice, cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, avocado, cilantro. (If you pile too much onto the tortilla, you will have trouble folding it. A little goes a long way, believe me.) Next, fold in sides of tortilla. While still pinching sides of tortilla, fold one side over filling and press/stuff tightly. Continue rolling until completely wrapped. Cut in half and serve with salsa and sour cream.
