[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to get them to roll up properly at home unless you get giant tortillas and steam them in the microwave with a damp paper towel.

You can use canned beans. High quality dried beans simmered with carrot, onion, celery and a bay leaf taste way better but - youcan't get decent beans at Giant and Safeway. I like rancho gordo brand. But I doubt your kid is a foodie.

It is regular white rice. Maybe with a little salt, butter or pork fat. Not basmati or jasmine. Think Uncle Bens - you want a rice with lots of separation, not sticky. You can stir in lime juice and cilantro if your kid likes chipotle. You can stir in a little cooking liquid from the beans to make it look "dirty".

You can try taco seasoning, tomato paste and minced onions, cumin and diced tomato. They might have a simmer sauce at Giant in Columbia Heights. They have a lot of Hispanic ingredients there. You may need to experiment. What restaurant are you trying to recreate? If you want to be healthy mix the beef with some ground turkey or even textured vegetable protien (in the Bob's Red Mill section)
