Shredded Beef and Rice Burritos

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) fully cooked beef pot roast with gravy
  • 1 (8.8 oz) pouch cooked Spanish rice
  • ½ cup canned corn with peppers
  • ½ cup fresh salsa
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • ¾ cup Deli spinach dip

Steps

    1. Microwave pot roast and rice following package instructions; drain corn and salsa. Shred meat with 2 forks, then combine meat, rice, corn, and salsa.
    2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place each tortilla on a square sheet of foil. Spread 2 tablespoons spinach dip down center of each tortilla; top each with 2 tablespoons cheese and ½ cup beef mixture.
    3. Fold bottoms of tortillas up over filling, then roll tortillas around filling. Place each burrito seam-side down on foil, then roll foil around burrito and tuck under ends.
