In the bag:
1 pint hamburger (or 1 lb. cooked)
1 can green chilies
3 c. dehydrated refried beans
1 lg. can refried beans
1/4 c. flour
Also needed:
Ingredients to make 1 batch of tortillas
Directions:
Brown the hamburger. Add the flour and mix in. Whisk in 4 c. water to make a gravy-like sauce. Add the green chilies. Boil to thicken and then set aside. Make the tortillas according to directions. Reconstitute the dehydrated refried beans with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir in the can of refried beans and heat through. Use beans and tortillas to make burritos and top with hamburger/green chili sauce. Serve with Spanish rice.
In times of plenty serve burritos topped with cheese, chopped tomatoes and sour cream.
**Note: "Why," you ask, "do you mix the canned refried beans with the dehydrated?" The answer is simple. My kids won't eat the dehydrated refried beans. They have too much...flavor?...seasoning?... and by mixing with the canned beans, it tones down the taste. Even better than that is to mix them with home canned beans which contain no salt or seasonings of any kind. Then they are flavored just right.
