Taco Roll Ups image

From Family Fun. I adapted it a bit. Great for lunch boxes. Change the amount of seasoning based on your or your kids' preference. I also have a Chili Powder recipe that could be used in place of the storebought package. UPDATE: We finally tried this. These would be great for lunchboxes. Also great for getting extras, like onions, pepper, etc. in the kids. I had 20 oz. meat, added a little dried minced onion and bell pepper and used just under 1/2 C per roll. It ended up making 9 rolls. All but 1 child liked it (my picky one).

Time 23m

Yield 6-9 whole roll ups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb lean ground turkey or 1 lb lean ground beef
0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup corn
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup salsa
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese or 3/4 cup Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet and brown over medium-high heat.
  • When the meat is cooked (about 10 minutes), drain the fat.
  • Add the taco seasoning, water, and corn; stir and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the refried beans.
  • To give the filling a smooth consistency, pour the beef mixture into a blender or food processor. With 4 or 5 short pulses, eliminate any large chunks from the mix.
  • For each wrap, heat a tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture evenly over it, then top with a layer of salsa and cheese. Roll it up and tuck in the ends.
  • Tightly cover each sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cut in half at serving time. Or cut into 1 inch slices for appetizers.
