medium heat until most of the moisture in the meat mixture is cooked off, about 10 minutes.
    Next pull the cream cheese apart into smaller sections and add to the pan, followed by one cup of the shredded cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly to melt and combine all the cheese.
    Once your mixture has reached a thick porridge like consistency, remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 350° F.
    Spray a 13" x 9" baking pan with cooking spray.
    Taking your soft tortilla shells, carefully spoon a couple of scoops of the meat mixture into the center of the shell. Wrap it up and place in the baking sheet. Repeat until all of your shells are full.
    Take any remaining meat sauce and pour over the arranged burritos.
    Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheese on top, followed by the chopped tomato and green onion.
    Place baking pan into the center of the oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes,
    Remove from oven, allow to sit for 5 minutes and serve. This will be hot Dick so careful.

    Dicks Tips
----
    Make sure to have some sour cream and salsa to serve on the side with these Dick. Sticking to lean ground beef and whole wheat tortilla shells makes this a wee bit better for you and won't compromise on taste. That being said, no-one eats burritos for the health of it.
    You can also substitute regular shredded marble cheese in the recipe if you like it on the milder side. Whatever floats your boat Dick.

Crazy Chick Salad
----
    Chicks love their salads Dick so you may as well make one you'll both enjoy. This one's loaded with protein and veggies, still lets you work the barbecue and will work just fine as a standalone meal.

    Season your chicken breasts with some garlic powder and Cajun seasoning. Place the chicken and the Oktoberfest sausage on the barbecue and cook until done, turning occasionally - about 15 minutes.
    Wash and dry your romaine lettuce. (This would be a good time to try out that salad spinner I suggested you buy for Dick's Tool Box.)
    Combine romaine, cucumber, tomato and onion to make yourself an old school chef salad. Spread out on two plates.
    Top each of the salads with half of the shredded old cheddar.
    Slice the chicken and the sausage and spread evenly (or not) on top of the salad and cheese.
    That's it Dick. You're done. Serve supersized with your dressing of choice and you've got yourself a man-salad.

    Dicks Tips
----
    You can substitute any meat here pal. Grilled steak, ham, salmon - you name it. You can even get a little crazy with the cheese. Just make sure you have fresh ingredients and big plates.
