Flank Steak Burritos
These “pass arounds” will be a family favorite. You’ll like them because they utilize planned-overs from Taco-Rubbed Flank Steak (page 184), making it easy to get dinner on the table in next to no time. Your kids will like choosing their own combination of condiments and creating their own burritos. And everyone will like the taste.

Cook’s Tip
Step 6
For mashed beans with a slightly thinner consistency, warm them with several tablespoons of salsa (lowest sodium available) or water. Start with 2 tablespoons, adding more if you like a thinner consistency.
