Granny Rants: Taco Burritos



½ cup diced zucchini

1 med. red onion (diced or chopped)

1 lb. ground chuck (can be substituted ground turkey or chicken)

1 cup of water

1 packet of Taco seasoning (brand of choice)

1 package of 8 inch flour tortillas

(Garden mix lettuce, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for topping)

Place ground chuck in 12 inch skillet over medium to medium high heat, toss in diced zucchini, and red onions, stirring occasionally until meat is brown. Once meat is brown, drain excess grease; add taco seasoning and 1cup of water (add water a little at a time so the mixture doesn't become to soupy). Stir in seasoning and reduce heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Then place flour tortilla in the center of a dinner plate. With large serving spoon, scope a heaping spoonful of the meat mixture from skillet and place in the center of tortilla. Fold the tortilla starting from the sides outside-in. Next flip the bottom of the tortilla up to overlap the folded sides and roll the burrito over so folds are on the bottom side against the plate. Place the plate in the microwave for 30 seconds (to warm the tortilla), remove and top with garden mix lettuce, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

This should make about four burritos; you can always double it to make more...Enjoy!
