Burritos

Many years ago, I made a cookbook for a friends wedding. I obtained a copy of the guest list from the brides mom and then mailed each guest a recipe card (blue for grooms side and pink for brides) and then inserted the returned recipes into a photo album, which I had covered and personalized. This way the new couple had some great tried and true family favourites to start cooking with. I would copy down some of the recipes that struck my fancy and this was one of them. Thanks Irma for sharing.

Burritos

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2c chopped onion
1pkg taco seasoning (see Note below)
1/4t pepper
1/4t oregano
2T parsley
1c sour cream
1c shredded cheddar cheese
1c salsa
1 1/2c shredded mozzarella cheese,
10 medium tortilla shells

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Brown beef and onions. Drain fat. Add spices, sour cream and cheddar cheese. Blend well. Place 3T of meat mixture in centre of tortilla and roll up. Place side by side in a 10x15 pan, seam side down. Top with salsa and mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Note:
If you don't have taco seasoning, you can add the following spices instead and alter the amounts to suit your families taste:
1t chili powder
1/2t paprika
1t salt
1/2t garlic powder
increase oregano to 1t.

Hint:
Prior to baking, these can also be individually wrapped, packaged and frozen for lunches or a quick meal and simply heated in the microwave.
