1 package taco seasoning, plus water as directed on the package
whole grain tortillas
2 cups shredded monterey jack or cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 cups diced tomatoes
salsa
1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Cook the beef in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until browned. Add the red pepper and continue to cook, stirring, until softened slightly. Add the taco seasoning and water, stir, and simmer for 10 minutes, until the pepper slices are al dente.
Place a tortilla on a f lat surface. Spoon 2 scoops of the beef mixture on the bottom one-third of the tortilla. Layer on cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa, being careful not to overload the tortilla. Fold the left and the right sides of the tortilla inward 1 inch, and then, starting from the bottom, roll up the tortilla until the seam is down. Repeat to make additional burritos.
Using a napkin or a paper towel, rub the olive oil on the bottom of a saute pan. Heat on medium-high until hot but not smoking. Place the burritos, in batches if necessary, in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until heated through and browned.
