Picadillo

1. 1

   When I was a child in El Paso, a Mexican lady came by each week and did ironing for my mom (oh, did we live large back then!).

2. 2

   She showed my mom how to make this and it is still one of my comfort foods.

3. 3

   Place all the ingredients except the tortillas in a large pot.

4. 4

   Bring to a boil while constantly stirring to break up the meat.

5. 5

   Then cover and simmer on low until the potatoes are done.

6. 6

   Heat the tortillas however you like.

7. 7

   I like to do mine singly in a hot skillet as I like to have a little brown on them, but you can microwave them or use the oven.

8. 8

   This will make four to six very good sized burritos.

9. 9

   My wife will eat it in a bowl like a stew.

10. 10

    I usually double the recipe and freeze them to take to work for lunch.
