Spinach And Beef Burritos Recipes

SPINACH BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a skillet, saute the onion and garlic in margarine until tender.
• Add spinach and pepper, cook 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
• Place 3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture on each tortilla and top with 1 tablespoon picante sauce and 2 tablespoons of cheese.
• Roll into burrito, place seam side down in a 9 x 13 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Top with remaining salsa and cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

SPINACH CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• To prepare burritos: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add green onions and garlic; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add spinach; cook until leaves are wilted. Stir in coriander, nutmeg, grated cheese and cream cheese. Remove from heat.
• To keep tortillas from cracking, place them on a baking sheet (overlapping is fine) and heat them in the oven for a minute or two.
• Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup of filling on the lower half of a warm tortilla, fold the bottom up and the sides in to encase the filling, roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
• Brush the tops of the burritos with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until hot, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare hot sauce: In a heavy saucepan or skillet, heat oil over high heat until it is almost smoking. Add onion, bell pepper and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until bell pepper is blistered and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add cumin, coriander and cayenne or red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
• Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add tomatoes; puree.
• Return the sauce to the pan; add cilantro and salt to taste. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, partially covering the pan to avoid splatters.
• To serve, top burritos with sauce.

BEEF AND SALSA BURRITOS

Steps:

• In large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
• Pour off drippings.
• Season beef with chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Stir in spinach and salsa; heat through.
• Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
• To serve, spoon approx 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each tortilla.
• Fold bottom edge up over filling; fold sides to center overlapping edges.
