I'll be honest. Today I feel awful. I just want to sleep on the couch and have the world go away. Evidently, my kids feel the same way. The problem is, even when they feel bad, they still want to eat. So my oldest says, "Gee, I wish we had some nacho cheese. I'd really like a burrito." Well, knowing that I had leftover taco meat from last night (made with my THRIVE ground beef, of course! All I did was reconstitute and add a pouch of taco seasoning) I said, "Let me see what I can do." I went into the kitchen and mixed up the following, and voila! Burritos with nacho cheese!! And Spencer's response? "These burritos are amazing!" Now THAT puts a smile on a mama's face!
1/4 C THRIVE Monterey jack cheese
1/4 C THRIVE Cheddar cheese
2 TB your favorite brand of salsa in a jar (I always have some in my pantry)
1 tsp milk or water
Reconstitute cheeses in warm water and drain. Place in a small pot and melt, adding salsa and milk or water to thin a bit. Serve in a burrito with taco meat and refried beans. This recipe makes about 1/3 C of cheese sauce- just enough for 3 burritos for my 3 boys :)
