Tonight's supper was home made burrittos. Here's the recipe:
12 Tortilla shells (I used the large, but next time I will use the smaller ones to save calories)
1 lb ground chuck browned with taco seasoning packet added
2 cups mild chunky salsa, pureed (I don't like the big chunks and if I wasn't feeding kids I would have used hot)
1 cup 2% sharp cheddar cheese, divided in half
1 small can of green chiles, pureed
1 can fat free refried beans
Mix all ingredients together except 1/2 cup of the cheese and spoon into tortillas. These will fit into two large 13x9 pans. Bake in oven at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
Top with free sour cream and taco sauce if desired.
I had one burrito with 2 Tbl of sour cream and 1 Tbl of taco sauce and a small serving of whole kernal corn that was cooked with 1 Tbl of butter and 1 Tbl sugar.
The burrito had 324 calories and the condiments on top had 30 calories. The burrito had 12.5 grams of fat. The corn had 70 calories and 2 grams of fat. Total calories 424 and total fat 14.5.
What I would have done differently: I would have used two cans of refried beans and omited the beef or used ground turkey. Most of the fat and calories came from the meat. I also would have used smaller tortillas. This was an old recipe I have fixed many times before and I just made it as it was. Next time I will modify it.
