Burrito also known as taco de harina is a popular Mexican-American food. Did you know that the word "burrito" comes from a Spanish word meaning donkey? The name Burrito was applied to the food possibly because the appearance looks like a bedroll and packs that donkeys supposed to carry behind their back. This food is consist of wheat flour wrapped or folded into a cylindrical shape to enclose it's filling. The tortilla usually is lightly grilled or steamed to soften to make it more flexible. Anyway, I'm a bit hungry of eating this dish so why don't we start. 

What do we need:

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces Ground Beef and should be at least 90-96% lean
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground ancho chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend or shredded Cheddar cheese
4 medium spinach or plain flour tortillas (a size of 10-inch diameter), warmed
Salsa

You can optionally add Lime-Cilantro Cream if you want.

Lime-Cilantro Cream

1/2 cup reduced-fat dairy sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro

The Procedure: 

Combine all the Lime-Cilantro Cream ingredients in small bowl, if desired and set it aside.
Heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef with bell pepper, onion, chili powder and cumin; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into small crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from beef mixture from the skillet and keep it warm. 
Mix eggs, water and 1 tablespoon cilantro in a medium bowl. Spray same skillet with cooking spray. Pour into skillet; cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, if desired. Stir in beef mixture and cheese; cook 1 minute or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Spoon beef mixture evenly in a row across center of each tortilla, leaving 1-inch border on right and left sides. Fold right and left sides of tortilla over filling. Fold bottom edge up over filling and roll up; cut diagonally in half. Serve with Lime-Cilantro Cream and salsa, as desired.

Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF / 71ºC. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

Serve and Enjoy! Vamos a comer!
