This was absolutely fab! I made this on vacation in VA Beach with my Fiance, he loved it and keeps asking for it. I've made it 4 times now and plan to make it again and again. A definate winner!!!

Loved these! I used 2 c. of Minute Rice, and my can of green chilies was just 4 ounces. I also rolled the filling in soft flour tortillas, adding fresh cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese. My photo shows the yummy steak mixture on top of a flour tortilla, with the key sides of fresh lime and sour cream. These tacos (or burritos) really hit the spot, and fed a lot of hungry people -- 3 teenagers, a 6 year old and the parents -- we feel full after 1 burrito each and they taste sooo good. Great meal!
