Burritos

Burritos are an excellent first night recipe, they scale very well for large groups and are suitable for vegetarians when mince and beans are cooked separately (which usually happens as you usually don't have big enough pots!)

Ingredients

* Tortillas (come in packets of 8 from supermarket - get fresh from bread section).  Taco shells are different and not what you're after. Allow 2-3 per person.
* 150~200g mince per person (frozen the night before)
* onions - 1 per ~3 people
* a little oil
* tomato soup packets - 1 per ~1kg mince
* cans of chilli beans, baked beans.  1 can per 3-4 people.
* tomatoes - 1 per 2-3 people
* lettuce - 1 feeds 8+ people!
* cheese - ~250g per 4 people

Optional Extras:
*avocado - 1 per ~4 people
* peppers

Method

1. Fry mince and onions in a little oil until mince is brown and no red remains, add tomato soup in concentrated form (1 packet-> 1 cup water) to thicken and add more flavour to mince.  Drain fat from mince if desired. 
- If you have a dehydrator you can do this step at home and dehydrate, then when you come to eat just add a little water at a time and heat gently until desired consistency is reached (don't add water all at once tho or a mince 'soup' will be created instead!)

2. Heat beans, add some cooked onion to them also.

3. Chop tomatoes, peppers, avocado, cheese.  Wash lettuce.

4. Serve as production line with people starting with picking up a tortilla, then adding mince/beans, and then veges in turn.  Eat and then come back for seconds etc.  Cutlery and plates are optional although eating outside may be a good plan if following this route!

- enjoy!  :-)
