Burritos and Chimichangos

ROLLED WHEAT TORTILLAS WITH BEAN-AND-POTATO FILLING

To make 8 rolled tortillas

BURRITOS
2 medium-sized boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 cups freshly cooked or drained canned pinto, pink or kidney beans, rinsed in a sieve under cold running water if canned
1/2 cup water

2 canned green chilies (not the jalapeño variety), drained, halved, seeded and finely chopped
8 seven-inch wheat tortillas
ADDED INGREDIENT FOR CHIMICHANGOS
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Drop the potatoes into enough boiling water to cover them completely and cook briskly, uncovered, until a potato quarter can be mashed against the side of the pan with the back of a fork. Drain the potatoes, and then force them through a ricer or food mill set over d. bowl. In a small skillet, bring the beans and water to a boil over moderate heat. Drain off the liquid and set it aside. With a fork, mash the beans to a coarse purée, beating in the reserved liquid by the spoonful if the beans seem dry. Add the beans to the potatoes, stir in the chilies, and taste for seasoning. Cover the bowl with foil to keep the filling mixture warm while you prepare the tortillas.

TO MAKE BURRITOS,place one tortilla in a heavy 10-inch skillet set over moderate heat, and turn it frequently with tongs for 10 seconds, or until it is soft. Spread 1/3 cup of the filling in a band 4 inches long and 1 inch wide across the center of the tortilla; then turn up the ends, fold one long side over the filling, and roll the tortilla into a cylinder. Repeat until all the tortillas are softened, filled and rolled. At this stage the tortillas are called burritos. Serve warm, accompanied if you like with red tomato taco.

TO MAKE CHIMICHANGOS, pour vegetable oil into a heavy 12-inch skillet to a depth of 1 inch, and heat the oil until it is very hot but not smoking. Fry the rolled burritos two or three at a time, turning them with a slotted spoon, for about 2 minutes, until they are crisp and golden brown on all sides. As they brown, transfer the chimichangos to paper towels to drain.

Arrange the chimichangos on a heated platter and serve them hot, accompanied if you like by red tomato taco or ancho sauce.
