Yum! This was super-easy and delicious! I used "hot and spicy" taco seasoning since some reviewers said the meat was bland. The burritos were very filling for a lite recipe. Will definitely make again!05/07/10

I've been making this for years. I've shared with everyone in my family. There is nothing difficult about the recipe - and I make this recipe at high altitude all the time. I add no additional water or beef broth. The only additional item that we add are jalepenos. My husband likes the spicy flavor. Kids love it and it is great leftover. I highly recommend this recipe. If you are experiencing meat that doesn't seem to cook correctly, make sure that you have a big enough piece of beef and/or use flank steak rather than the london broil.03/03/10
