Carne Picada Burritos (steak Ranchero)

Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves, when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little, when we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to the shore. Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess, we have lost our thirst for the waters of life; having fallen in love with life, we have ceased to dream of eternity; and in our efforts to build a new earth, we have allowed our vision of the new Heaven to dim. Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wider seas where storms will show your mastery; where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars. We ask you to push back the horizons of our hopes; and to push into the future in strength, courage, hope, and love.

<mas@inetdirect.net> For those of you who do  not subscribe to Saveur
magazine there was recently a section on  authentic Mexican food. (No
yellow cheese, a dribble of sour cream,  very little lettuce, ...etc.).
One of the recipes Carne Picada  Burritos ( or Steak Ranchero ) was a
featured item, to those of you  who like Texan-fajitas this is the
forerunner and IMHO the easiest  and best. :^)  Heat 2 tbsp. oil in pan
and add onions then cook till translucent for  about ten minutes, add
jalapenos, turn heat to high then add meat and  brown for 2 minutes.
Now add garlic and tomatoes and let simmer for a  few minutes and serve
as gravy begins to from, place in hot flour  tortillas... Simple,
Wonderful, Traditional.  CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V2 #242  From the
