Ingredients
-
1 lb leftover pot roast (with broth or V-8 juice to moisten)
1/4 can of tomato paste (plain or with herbs)
1 tsp (or to taste) Tabasco Chipotle Sauce (NOT regular Tabasco!)
1 cup canned black beans, drained
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 Buena Vida whole wheat tortillas
small amount of tomato or V-8 juice
Directions
1. Shred the pot roast into a saucepan, add enough broth or juice to moisten.
2. Add tomato paste and Tabasco sauce, then heat through while stirring.
3. Warm tortillas in microwave for 20 seconds.
4. For each burrito, place 1/8 of beef mixture and 1/8 of beans down the center of a warmed tortilla.
5. Reserve about 1/4 cup of cheese, then place 1/8 of remaining cheese on top of the beef and beans.
6. Roll up and place in a rectangular casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat for all 8 tortillas.
7 Spray tops with a little cooking spray (so the foil won't stick), cover with foil, and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
8. Remove foil. Brush tops with V-8 juice and return to oven for 5 minutes.
9. Sprinkle reserved cheese on top and return to oven just long enough to melt the cheese (1-2 minutes).
10. Serve with reduced fat sour cream, pico de gallo, and a salad or veggie.
Makes 8 small or 4 large servings.
