Baked Burritos

As I sit here on my back porch wearing a sweater and watching the sun set (beautiful by the way!) I have to wonder where summer is. We are having very late spring-like weather. Lot's of thunderstorms, rain and cool, cloudy days. Summer, you can get here anytime! It is usually in the high 90's to low 100's around here this time of year. I actually had to cut back the water on my garden. The leaves were turning yellow! The good news is we are saving a ton on our a/c bill and I can still use the oven without worrying about how hot the house will be!

The girls and I had a fantastic day with some awesome friends. We were so exhausted by the time everyone went home I was dreading dinner. I thought about running through fast food but really hate to eat that junk (except for the french fries...mmmm...french fries...). So I scrounged around in my freezer and found some shredded pork that I had frozen a couple months ago. HOORAY! There was only one problem. My fridge and my cupboards are bare! My husband is working out of town and we were gone all weekend so I didn't meal plan or shop for the week. So....what to do with shredded pork? Luckily I did have tortillas and cheddar cheese (pre shredded of course!). Voila...baked burritos!

What you need:

Shredded pork, chicken or beef
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Tortillas
Butter, melted

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pork (or other meat of choice) onto a tortilla and top with cheese. Roll up burrito style and place on baking sheet. Brush with melted butter. Bake in the oven 30 - 40 minutes until brown. Let cool! The filling gets VERY hot. I always cut my daughters in half and let cool for 10 - 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with sour cream, salsa, and/or guacomole.
