Beef, Bean and Cheese Burritos

 I made this recipe up and it is pretty darn delicious! We took these burritos camping and reheated them in a pan on a gas stove. Not ideal, but it did work!

One medium potato, grated

½ onion (white or yellow) diced
Refried beans (either one can or one cup mixed refried beans from the Home Storage Center)
1 can beef, rinsed and drained of most fat (1 ½ to 2 cups)
1 can green chilis (either 4 oz. or 7 oz. is fine)
1 cup pecante sauce or salsa
½-1 cup cheddar cheese (or a cheese you like)
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
½-1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

In large hot skillet, cook potatoes until they begin to get tender. Add onion and cook until onions are tender, about 5 minutes more or so. Add chilis, beans, salsa and spices. Heat through, stirring occasionally. Add more cheese if needed. Taste and add whatever more you want of any spices or salt and pepper.

Put portion of mix on a tortilla and roll up--this depends on how large your tortillas are. You want enough to make it worth a burrito, but not so full that you can't roll it up. In the large burrito tortillas, I put probably between half and ¾ cup of mix in each one. I freeze my burritos so I can have a quick meal when I need one. Reheat in microwave for 2 minutes.
