SAUCY BEEF WRAPS

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)

1/3 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup tomato paste

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed, drained

1/4 cup shredded carrots

4 medium flour tortillas (8 to 9-inch diameter), warmed

COOKING:

Brown Ground Beef with onion, bell pepper and garlic in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, breaking beef up into 1/2-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings, if necessary.

Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

Stir in water, tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add spinach, beans and carrots; continue simmering 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through.

Spoon filling evenly in a row across center of each tortilla, leaving 1-1/2-inch border on right and left sides. Fold right and left sides of tortilla over filling. Fold bottom edge up over filling and roll up.
