- 1 Portion Mexican Rice - or leftover Mexican Rice
- 1 Portion Red Taco Sauce - or store bought

Taco Meat
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 C Water or Broth
- 2 Tbl Beef Suet - or Lard
- 2/3 C Tomato Juice
- 1 pack Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Red Taco Sauce & Refried Beans or use the store bought for quick and easy. Prepare the Mexican Rice, which will take about 40 minutes, or leftover Mexican Rice can be used. Set aside the Red Taco Sauce, Refried Beans, Mexican Rice, along with the Cheese so that it is at room temp when assembling the Burritos.
- In a skillet, add the Ground Beef with 1/2 C Water and mix well until completely absorbed. Add in the Beef Suet or Lard. Then turn the heat to max and cook while mixing and breaking down until the water is gone. Add the Tomato Juice along with the Taco Seasoning and mix well. Continue to cook until thick, then remove from heat and empty into a bowl to set aside. Clean out the skillet and return it to medium heat.
- Toast each Tortilla until bubbly, only on one side if you plan on toasting or grilling the Burritos. Else, Toast both side to assemble without toasting the Burritos.
- Burrito Assembly; Place the Tortilla down, toasted side facing up. From the center of the Tortilla and down spread Refried Beans.Top with Mexican RiceDrizzle Red Taco Sauce over the RiceAdd any Vegetables if desired, including GuacamoleAdd Taco Seasoned Ground BeefTop with CheeseSpread Sour Cream directly on the Tortilla just above the fillingRoll the Burritos with the seam facing down.
- Transfer to the skillet over medium to medium low heat to toast while covered. Watch it here, they only take a few seconds to toast each side. For Extra Crispy, add a bit of fat to the pan.Once browned and crisp to your liking, wrap the Burritos in tin foil or waxed paper to keep warm. The heat retention will also help to blend the flavors and melt the cheese. You can also skip the toasting or grilling and just go straight to wrapping them for consumption or placing them on a baking sheet to warm through while wrapped in tin foil before serving.
