Picadillo

Directions

1. 1
   When I was a child in El Paso, a Mexican lady came by each week and did ironing for my mom (oh, did we live large back then!).
2. 2
   She showed my mom how to make this and it is still one of my comfort foods.
3. 3
   Place all the ingredients except the tortillas in a large pot.
4. 4
   Bring to a boil while constantly stirring to break up the meat.
5. 5
   Then cover and simmer on low until the potatoes are done.
6. 6
   Heat the tortillas however you like.
7. 7
   I like to do mine singly in a hot skillet as I like to have a little brown on them, but you can microwave them or use the oven.
8. 8
   This will make four to six very good sized burritos.
9. 9
   My wife will eat it in a bowl like a stew.
10. 10
    I usually double the recipe and freeze them to take to work for lunch.
