Spicy Beef Burritos
This is a long-standing favourite recipe for a complete Mexican meal. It features a savoury filling of ground beef, onion, and green pepper seasoned with chilli powder and Worcestershire sauce, all wrapped in flour tortillas. The burritos are nestled in a base of spiced stewed tomatoes, topped with more tomatoes and cheddar cheese, then baked until hot and bubbling. It's a satisfying dish that serves four to six people and is ready in about 45 minutes.
