SUNKEN MEAT BURRITO
Toucan Taco, an old, hole-in-the-wall family-owned and operated restaurant in Laurel, Maryland, serves some of the best and most unique Mexican food I have ever tasted. Until I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, I had gone to Toucan Taco at least once a week for a delicious Sunken Meat Burrito. But now that I am on a low sodium diet, Toucan Taco is "off limits" to me. So I embarked on a mission to clone these sunken beauties and, after numerous "close-but-no-cigar" attempts, I did it! I have isted "regular" ingredients, but it's incredibly easy to significantly reduce the sodium content by using reduced-sodium, low-sodium, or sodium-free beef stock, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, and tortillas.

Tips:
- To save time, use store-bought burrito tortillas, guacamole, or salsa. You can also use your favorite Mexican cheese blend instead of queso Oaxaca.
- Customize your burrito by adding your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, or pickled onions.
- Make sure to cook the beef until it is browned and cooked through. This will help to prevent the meat from being tough or chewy.
- If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a large oven-safe skillet instead. Just be sure to preheat the skillet before adding the burritos.
- Serve the burritos immediately with your favorite toppings and sides. You can also store the burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
