Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ pounds ground round
½ medium head cabbage, chopped
1 ½ onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup water
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the cabbage, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and water. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, and the water has cooked away, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas one at a time in a large skillet over medium heat until pliable.
  • Place a tortilla onto your work surface, then spoon some of the filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of the tortilla. Flatten the filling into rectangle shape with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese over the filling. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Time 1h35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 head cabbage, finely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
36 frozen dinner rolls, thawed
2 quarts vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in ground beef, and cook until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes more. Add the chopped cabbage; cook and stir until the cabbage has softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to cool until cool enough to handle.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, flatten a dinner roll, and place several tablespoons of the cabbage mixture in the center. Pull the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

RUNZAS



Runzas image

These Russo-German beef-cabbage mixtures encased in yeast dough were called kraut runsas by German farmers who had first settled in Russia and then emigrated to Nebraska. Later they became kraut baroques. Today the local chains of Runza Huts and Runza Drive-Inns have copyrighted the name for a dish not unlike a Cornish pasty. Nebraskans on home leave always return with runzas.
