I got this recipe from my grandmother in-law. I had this recipe for about 2 years before I tried it. Now its one of our favorites. It's not hard to make even with making the sauce. It has good flavor and makes Mexican dinner night different from having tacos and regular burritos. This is also very filling so you can feed a lot of people (10-12) or and family of 6 with 2 teenage boys.
gravy:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chili powder
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano
3 cans (15 oz.) chicken broth
1 can (12 oz.) tomato sauce
Melt butter. Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter. Stirring constantly, slowly add chicken broth. Slowly, stirring constantly - stir in tomato sauce. Thicken gravy lightly with cornstarch until desired thickness.
Burritos:
2 lb. ground beef
1 large onion
salt and pepper
1 (31 oz.) can re-fried beans
20 floured shells; warmed
8 oz. cheddar cheese; shredded
Fry beef and onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then add re-fried beans. Mix well. To assemble individual plates: Fill flour shells with meat mixture, roll up placing seam side down on plate. Ladle gravy on top. Top with cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, sour cream and salsa.
*Recipe makes a lot of gravy - but the gravy freezes well.*
