For a change from sandwiches, we like burritos-something many people don't consider in a brown-bag lunch, says Rhonda Cliett of Barton, Texas. They're good cold or easy to heat if a microwave's available.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
2/3 cup enchilada sauce
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
4-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
15 to 20 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1-1/2 to 2-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the next eight ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. In a microwave, heat tortillas in batches until warm, about 45 seconds. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of beef mixture off center on each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 2 to 3 tablespoons cheese and roll up.
3. Wrap burrito in paper towel, then in foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Refrigerate. Eat burritos cold, or remove foil and heat paper towel-wrapped burrito in a microwave on high for 30-60 seconds. Yield: 15-20 servings.
