This week's Recipe of the Week is brought to us by mom, cook, and Families-First community friend Lani : ).

She has a fabulous idea for leftovers- this recipe takes boring roast beef leftovers and turns them into delicious burritos!

Here's a little bit from Lani
about how she created this recipe:

When my children were little they hated leftovers. My father-in-law gave this recipe to me, when my son was three. Both my children are grown now. It has been there favorite leftover recipe throughout the years. It is truly an 'Americanized Burrito'.
Thanks Lani
