When I need a night out of the kitchen, I like to visit my local Mexican restaurant. It’s easy, convenient and I can get a tasty meal in a flash. But, a meal for four is NOT cheap. One night out can cost as much 3 or 4 meals made at home.
Luckily I have recipes that help me give my family a tasty meal without the need to go out OR spend all night in the kitchen. And the best part, when the meal is made at home, it’s much more affordable.
So rather than loading my family up and driving to the restaurant, I pull out a package of Knorr Sides and create a big dish of Smothered Burritos! We get delicious comfort food in just minutes for a fraction of the restaurant price.
Loaded with beef, beans, cheese, and stuffed to the max with delicious Knorr Taco Rice, this is the perfect meal for a busy week night and a great alternative to the usual Taco Tuesday. You get all the flavor you love and prep is only a few minutes more than your basic taco recipe.
Plus, it’s a great way to get your family to help in the kitchen. I’ll get everything prepped and then have my guys create an assembly line. It’s almost like an at-home burrito joint. I add the meat then pass it down to my husband who adds the Knorr Taco Rice. From there he pushes the burrito to Jake who spoons in beans and shredded cheese. Finally, the burrito goes to Jeb where it’s wrapped and placed in a casserole dish. In a matter of minutes, we have six burritos that are stuffed and ready to go.
All that’s left is to smother the whole thing in enchilada sauce and more shredded cheese. A few minutes in the oven to melt the cheese and it’s time to ring the dinner bell.
I would estimate that this dish comes in at a cost of less then $3 per person! No way you are getting that pricing if you go out to eat. And you can save even more if you shop now!
