The Start

So it's almost my favorite season. The season full of soups, gourds, ciders and sweaters. Nothing about fall upsets me. But alas, the key word here is 'almost'. So I decided to take my hat off to those summer months of canoeing, concerts and canning; and allow a few more meals that included the spice of the season. So here is my burrito recipe that had my fiance trying to sneak thirds and left the house smelling of chili powder. It's easy as 1, 2, 3 and takes under 30 minutes.

Mad Burrito Mixture

Ingredients:

• 1 lb 95% lean ground beef (or whatever you have)
• 1 cup brown rice
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1/2 frozen corn
• 1 yellow onion
• 1/2 tblsp chili powder (or if you like it spicy add more!)
• 1/2 tblsp  cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tblsp  cumin
• 1/2 tblsp  tumeric
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 can of tomato sauce
• whole wheat tortillas

For the add-ons its up to you. We usually go for the sour cream, lettuce, tabasco and salsa, you know, the works.

Directions:

1. Boil the rice in the broth you have chosen, until tender (usually around 20 minutes) Then drain the remaining water out.
2. Add in the tomato sauce, salt and pepper to the rice
3. Chop your onions and peppers.
4. Fry the ground beef in a medium sauce pan, once browned , drain the fat and add onions, corn and bell peppers to the pan. Let sit for about 10 minutes depending on your heat setting. 
5. Add the rice to the sauce pan of veggies and meat. 
6. Then add all of your spices and mix it up.  If you want it spicier, you can always add a few dashes of tabasco
7. Add your mixture to a tortilla, add your favorite burrito accouterments and EAT UP!

Hope this satisfies your bellies and help you savor your last days of summer!
