directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and peppers until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground meat to skillet, season mixture with salt, pepper and cayenne (to taste). Brown meat until no longer pink.
  • Add 1 cup salsa to skillet and stir into the meat mixture.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
  • Spray 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Wrap stack of 10 tortillas in wet paper towel. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
  • Holding one tortilla in one hand, brush the tortilla lightly with italian dressing. Scoop the meat mixture into the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up and place seam side down in baking dish. Note: Do not overfill the tortilla, or it will be very difficult to roll.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon remaining salsa and any remaining meat mixture over the burritos in the baking dish.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover and spread remaining 1 cup cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes. Top with green onions and sour cream, if desired.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I was born and raised in central Ohio, with family roots in West Virginia as well. I now live in coastal Florida and really enjoy having so much fresh seafood available. There are a lot of great restaurants in this area, but I decided a couple of years ago that I could make equally delicious food at home for a fraction of the cost. Since then, I've been honing my skills, trying different recipes, which in turn help me to develop new skills and try new things. I also watch a lot of Food Network TV, which gives me even greater confidence to experiment.</p>
