"THRIFTY THURSDAY RECIPE" - SKILLET BEEF BURRITOS!

SKILLET BEEF BURRITOS! 

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 lbs GROUND CHUCK

1 pkg KNORR MEXICAN RICE

2 c. MEXICAN CHEESE

3 DICED TOMATOES

10 TORTILLAS

1 can GREEN CHILE SAUCE

1/2 c. DICED ONIONS

1/2 c. BLACK OLIVES

1 c. SOUR CREAM

SALT & PEPPER

1. BROWN GROUND CHUCK (salt & pepper)  & WHEN ALMOST DONE ADD ONIONS.

2. WHILE GROUND CHUCK IS BROWNING, PREPARE MEXICAN RICE.

3. IN A LARGE BOWL MIX BROWNED GROUND CHUCK, PREPARED RICE, 2 DICED TOMATOES, 1/2 CAN GREEN CHILE SAUCE, 1/4 c BLACK OLIVES, 1/2 c. SOUR CREAM, 1 c. MEXICAN CHEESE.

4. NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR BURRITO MIXTURE,  LAY OUT YOUR TORTILLAS, PUT A GENEROUS SPOONFUL ON THE TORTILLA, FOLD OVER, TUCK SIDES IN, THEN FINISH ROLLING UP.

5. NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR 10 BURRITOS STUFFED & ROLLED, PLACE JUST A BIT OF OLIVE OIL ON BOTTOM OF THE SKILLET (just enough for a thin coating) & HEAT ON MEDIUM-HIGH.  

6. PLACE BURRITO IN SKILLET AND "FRY" UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN, ABOUT 4 MINUTES ON EACH SIDE.

7. AFTER REMOVING FROM SKILLET, TOP WITH A DRIZZLE OF GREEN CHILE SAUCE,  SOUR CREAM, BLACK OLIVES, & DICED TOMATOES.

8. SERVE WITH A SALAD.

You can change this up several ways...

I have added corn, used red sauce instead of green, used butter instead of olive oil etc.

I love making this because we always have leftovers for lunch the next day!

And this is my "Thrifty Thursday Recipe!"
