KATHI'S WET BURRITOS 
4 super size flour tortillas
1 lb. ground chuck
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cumin
2 c. refried beans
1/2 head lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
3 tomatoes, chopped
Chopped onion
Sauce
8 oz. grated colby cheese

Brown meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin; drain off fat. On each tortilla spread beans, meat, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Fold over sides of tortilla and roll up. Place in oven proof dish. Pour sauce generously over top. Sprinkle with cheese. Place under broiler until cheese melts. Or put in microwave oven on medium high for 3 minutes. Heat any remaining sauce and pour over burritos. Serves 4.

Sauce: 1 cup meat mixture (from filling mixture), 2 cups water, 1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce, 1 beef bouillon cube, 1 tablespoon chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.

Note: The filled tortillas may be frozen successfully minus the lettuce, tomato and onion. The vegetables and onion if desired can be added just before serving.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
