Super Burritos

This is a recipe that Natalie gave me.  Ernie and KC both love it.  It is a great way to use leftover roast beef, or any other meat you have sitting around, and it makes a great thing to send with Ernie for lunch.  Last Sunday I made a roast and had leftovers so this week, it's Super Burritos!

*Warning:  this is a recipe that is different every time I make it!  I just use what I have on hand and change it up, but they love it every time.

1/2 onion, diced
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Leftover roast (or any other meat), shredded
Leftover rice (if you have it) or cook 1/2 to 1 cups of rice
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
Cheese, shredded
Large corn tortillas
Possible add-ins:  green chilies, corn, salsa, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Saute the onions in the coconut oil.  Add the roast and saute for a minute or two.

Add the rice, beans, and spices and saute for another minute or two.  Add anything else you would like.  Cook until all is warmed through.  Taste and adjust seasonings.

Warm the tortillas, wrapped in a dish towel, in the microwave for a minute or two to soften.

Put about 1/3 cup of the mixture in each tortilla, cover with cheese and close tortilla with a toothpick.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes until crisp.

Great served with avocado, tomatoes, salsa, etc.  Or just pick them up and enjoy!
