There are times when I wish that I were a superhero.  I think about it regularly.   How awesome would it be to be like WonderWoman.  She was awesome.  She had this cool Lasso thing that would make you tell only the truth if it caught you.  She rode around in this invisible plane (the best).  She had this cool spinny thing goin' on.  She would spin and move her head in this funny way.   There were a lot of attempts to copy it in my bathroom mirror.  It was cool.  She was beautiful too.  Who wouldn't want that figure and those dope white and red boots.
Here's the reality though.  I work too much.  My house is too messy.  When I should be cleaning I'm usually:
Biking
Running
Reading
'Yoga'ing (!)
Cooking
Baking
Playing a game with my kids
Blogging
Even though my name is Wanda and I've been called 'WandaWoman' more times than I could ever count... I'm not WonderWoman.  She didn't have kids and I can't remember what her job was (although I know she had one - some army thing I think).  I never saw her have to cook her own food or clean up after herself.  She never seemed to have stupid deadlines or meetings or parent/teacher night or dance class.


So,what's this superhero stuff all about, you ask?
I didn't make my own Tortillas.
Yes my Peeps.  These things kind of get to me.  I bought the tortillas... from a store.  I couldn't even find organic ones.  Ugh.  In my other reality (don't know if you watch Fringe or not but there could be two universes!) maybe I'm that WonderWoman/Mom/wife/athlete who can do all the stuff that has to get done and still make homemade Tortillas every time she needs them.


I did make my own Tomatillo salsa but it was easy and so, in my mind, doesn't count that much.
Were these Burritos still really tasty?... Yup!
Are they worth making even if you don't have homemade tortilla's?... Yup!
Am I being ridiculous?.......


Burritos
serves 6 - 8

Rice:

1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 can of black beans
1 small onion, diced
1/2 diced pepper
1/2 diced zucchini
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
salt to taste

Beef:

1 1/2 lbs beef chuck
1 med. tomato diced
1 small onion diced
3 cloves garlic
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcerstershire sauce
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp chipotle powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
salt to taste
water

3 - 4 cups shredded cheese (I used Monterey Jack)
Salsa (I used my green stuff ;-)
8 large tortilla shells

Rice:
Heat a large pot and add about 2 tbsp of oil for frying.  Over medium heat, add in the veggies and cook for a few minutes - until soft.  Add in the spices and beans and cook for a couple of minutes together with the veggies.  Add in the rice and mix well.  Check the taste and add salt as needed.  Set aside.
Beef:
In a large heated pot, add some oil for frying.  Add in the onion and cook for a few minutes until soft.  Add in the garlic and the pork.  Swish around a little bit.  After a few minutes, add in the soy sauce, Worcestershire, sugar, chipotle powder and smoked paprika.  Add about a 1/2 cup of water.  Cover and simmer over low heat for about an hour.  Add more water if needed (check regularly).  With forks, pull apart the beef bits until they look shredded.  Check the tastes and adjust as needed.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place a large spoonful of the rice mixture in a tortilla shell.  Add a little bit of the beef mixture on top.  (I place all this stuff in a long row).  Add a couple of tbsp's of salsa and then some cheese.  Roll up the tortilla and place in a large baking sheet.  Continue this until everything is used up.  Save a little cheese for the top.  If you wish, add a little salsa on top of all the finished tortilla's and then cover with cheese.  Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.  Just until the cheese is bubbly.
Serve with more salsa.
