Beef and Potato Burritos

Me and my cousin we're having our 1 week holiday. And we both think that it's the best time to have our "me time". Today we went swimming, after that...of course we got hungry hehehe. So we're thingking to cook something simple but filling :p 
Burritos it is...and we got it from Martha Stewart's website. But we changed it a bit. It's easy :)


You'll need :
  • 1 large baking potato
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
  • 3/4 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes with juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • salt
  • 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack
  • 1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)

 How to make it:
  1. Peel potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add potato, cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  2. Add beef, onion, cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until beef is thoroughly browned, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice, cumin, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt (or more salt...it's up to you), cook about 6 minutes.
  3. Heat tortillas, one at a time, you can use the oven, the pan or microwave...whatever suits you, het it until lightly browned, about 10 seconds.
  4. Leaving space on bottom and sides, layer tortillas with sour cream, lettuce, beef mixture, cheese, and cilantro. Fold bottom upward, covering filling. Fold each side to overlap, leaving the top end open.
     


    For me of course....extra sour cream and cheese please :p
    Try it! Enjoy :)
