Maui Tacos Cookbook

Had lunch yet today? Hungry? On the forty-second page of “Maui Tacos Cookbook” authors Mark Ellman & Santos Barbara share the secret to making the following tastey morsel (emphasis entirely in the original for a change):

Honolii Burrito

(The Ground Beef Burrito)

When grilling the meat for your burrito is not an option, this ground beef burrito is an excellent choice.

2	flour tortillas, 12-inch (any flavor)
1 cup	ground beef
1 cup	Maui Tacos rice (page 8)
1 cup	black beans (page 5 or canned)
½ cup	shredded cheddar cheese
⅓ cup	sour cream
1 cup	shredded lettuce
	salsa, to taste

Warm the tortillas. Cover with foil (to keep them warm) and work with them one at a time.

Cook the ground beef in a frying pan. Drain off excess fat (or use recipe on page 16).

Layer rice, beans and cooked beef in the center of each tortilla.

Top with cheese, sour cream, salsa and lettuce.

Roll the tortillas as shown on page 111. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil if desired.

Makes 2 burritos
