After a busy day, this is a dish that I can get on the table fast. The recipe came about totally by accident: I started throwing things together and soon I had a winner! Everyone who has tried these burritos goes home with the recipe. —Amanda Alford, Hopedale, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve Santa Fe whole grain rice medley
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)

  • 6 flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
