Chimichanga

Let me preface this by saying I didn't feel like making a sauce, and by the time this hit the table, James didn't think it even needed a sauce! This is not kid tested since Mady got to have a sleepover with her Uncle Nut.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 small yellow onion
half a bell pepper (I used a green one)
Julio's seasoning
Cumin
Ground Cayenne pepper
Garlic salt (or plain white salt)
Large fajita-sized tortillas
Melted butter

Start your beef browning over medium heat in a large skillet. Stir occasionally. While your beef is browning, chop your onions and bell pepper. Put those into a small skillet and saute over medium heat. Preheat your over to 350. Shred cheese (I prefer using block cheese, so I shredded Colby Jack). Before taking the beef off the heat, add your seasonings and mix well. Move to a cool burner. Finish sauteing your onions and bell pepper. Spoon the meat onto a large tortilla and top with the onion mixture and shredded cheese. Fold the tortillas like an envelope around the meat and place on a cookie sheet, seam-side down. Brush the top of the tortillas with melted butter. I sprinkled the tops with some additional Julio's. Bake for 8 minutes, until the burritos are starting to turn a pretty golden color.
