Recipe: Mexican Love

This is a creation of Eric and Ann's which they made for us in Texas. Everyone loved this and we (me) ate way more of it than we should have. Even though they named it Mexican love, and even though it's all wrapped up burrito style, the flavor isn't what I'd think of as Mexican. It's more... um... okay I don't know what. American? Is that a flavor? I don't know, but trust me, it's good. And for something that's so easy to make, you can't go wrong. Without further ado, I give you...



Mexican Love

1 lb ground beef
1 large can Bush's Homestyle Baked Beans (did I get this brand right Ann?)
around 1 cup or so hickory-flavored BBQ sauce (they use a brand I've never heard of, I don't think you can get it here)

Ground the beef and mix in remaining ingredients. Heat through.

On large, soft, warmed flour tortillas, assemble the burrito. Shredded cheese first, then the meat mixture, sour cream, salsa, and a tiny bit of lemon juice (trust me on this, it's good). Roll up burrito style. (Eric demonstrated the correct way to do this a la Taco Bell, but I can't really describe it.)

Eat, enjoy, and prepare yourself for seconds.

You got the right type of beans - and the BBQ Sauce is called Head Country - straight out of Oklahoma. They have started to sell it at Walmart out here so chances are it will show up soon. By the way - its the best ever! Eric and Ann

You can learn the burrito wrapping style at any local Taco Bell. Just go in and they will show you, if not apply for a job and you will learn in about 20 minutes and maybe even earn a dollar or two.
