Nifs Healthy Baked Beef Burritos Recipes

NIF'S HEALTHY BAKED BEEF BURRITOS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in nonstick pan over medium for 5 minutes. Add taco seasoning and water and simmer for 20 minutes or until water has evaporated. By doing this, you infuse the taco seasoning into the ground beef and it tastes great!
• Add sour cream, salsa and tomatoes and stir until heated through.
• Divide mixture between 8 soft tortillas, approximately 1/2 cup each.
• Spray shallow casserole dish with nonstick spray.
• Roll up tortillas - fold the sides in first until almost touching. Then roll the tortilla and place seam side down in pan to ensure that filling does not run out. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• Cover pan with foil and bake at 350F for approximately 25 minutes, until cheese has melted and burritos are heated through.
• Place 1/4 of the lettuce and on each plate and top with 1/4 of tomatoes.
• Place 2 burritos on top of fresh veggies on each plate.

NIF'S LAST MINUTE RIBS OR PORK RIBLETS

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the ribs to a gentle boil. Add salt, pepper, whole garlic cloves and bay leaves to the water. Meanwhile remove the silver skin from the back of the racks and cut rib racks in half. Add ribs to water. Boil for 30 minutes and strain.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut rib racks into individual ribs and place in a baking pan lined with tin foil, for easier clean up. Sprinkle ribs with seasoning and toss. ***If you are using a salty seasoning, be careful not to use too much and don't use salt at the end. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a wire rack on a cookie sheet. I lined the sheet with tin foil as well. Place ribs on the rack.
• Broil ribs until they are medium brown. In my oven, they are done after 4 minutes under a high broil setting. If you have time, you can turn them over and broil the other side. Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt and pepper to taste. Do not add the salt if your seasoning is salty.
• Make sure you taste them! I added more of my dry rub seasoning at this point because they needed a bit more flavour.
