This was tonight's dinner. Boy was it good. I'm not a big meat person
but this was tasty. I guess it was the cheese and the chiles.

1/2 cup Frontera Roasted Poblano-Tomato Sauce -- or taco
sauce
1/2 recipe Taco Filling
TACO FILLING:
1 cup mashed potato -- from potato flakes*
1/4 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
pinch mexican oregano -- crumbled
1 tsp ground chile powder -- or pure chiles
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese -- grated
Monterey jack cheese -- for garnish
fresh cilantro -- chopped for garnish
sour cream (low fat or fat free ok) -- for
garnish
salsa -- for garnish
hot chiles -- chopped for garnish
2 flour tortillas -- burrito-style
tomato sauce
Make taco filling: Place ground beef in a large microwaveable container.
Cook on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir and break up lumps. Cook on HIGH for
another 2 minutes. Stir well and break up more lumps. Cook on HIGH one
more time, for 1 minute, until meat is no longer pink. Set aside and let
cool a bit.
When cool, add to meat : mashed potatoes, garlic powder, black pepper,
mexican oregano and ground chile powder (or pure chile). Stir well. The
potato is the binder for the taco filling.
To make burritos: Put one tortilla on work surface. Cover the whole
thing with 1/2 the poblano sauce. Cover with 1/2 cup of the taco
filling. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top and then a sprinkling of
cheese. Fold in half. Do this with all the ingredients until it is all
finished.
Preheat George Foreman grill and toaster oven or regular oven (350°F).
When hot, place one burrito in GF Grill. Close and grill for 4 minutes
until you have some nice grill marks. Then remove and place on pan for
toaster oven or a baking sheet for the oven. Cover the burrito with some
of the tomato sauce and another sprinkling of cheese. When all burritos
are finished in GF Grill, place on sheet and cover with the tomatoes and
cheese. Place in oven. Bake for 5 minutes until cheese is melted (you
can do the whole thing in the oven if you wish. Don't preheat the GF
Grill. Just place the burrito on the baking sheet and cover with the
tomato and the cheese. Bake for alotted time but you won't have the nice
grill marks).
Place one burrito on each plate and garnish the way you like - chopped
cilantro, sour cream, salsa, whatever. Serve with refried beans and
sauteed corn with tomatoes or corn-on-the-cob.
