Our family loves Mexican food, but I couldn't find a recipe for homemade burritos that we liked as much as the frozen varieties, comments Terry Ann Christensen of Roy, Utah. So I came up with a not-too-spicy homemade sauce that dresses them up. Ingredients:
6 frozen prepared bean and cheese burritos |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-3/4 cups water |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules |
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese |
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained, optional |
1/3 cup chopped green onions |
Directions:
1. Place frozen burritos in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until a smooth; gradually stir in water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, bouillon, cumin and salt. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until thickened.
2. Pour over the burritos. Sprinkle with cheese, olives if desired and onions. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
