Mexican Burrito Recipes

Ingredients:

1 lb ground meat, browned and drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup red chile sauce or enchilada sauce
12 flour tortillas
1 oil for frying
2 cup cheddar cheese
2 cup shredded lettuce
2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions:

In a large skillet, brown meat and drain. Add onion and chile or
enchilada sauce. Spoon about 3 tbsp of meat filling in center of
each tortilla. Fold tortilla, tucking in ends, and fasten with wooden
toothpicks. Only assemble 2 or 3 at a time as tortilla will absorb
liquid from sauce. In a large frying pan, with 1 inch of oil over
medium heat, fry folded tortilla, turning until golden about 1 to 2
minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.l Garnish with cheese,
lettuce, and onion.

Yield: 12 Chimichangas or fried burritos
