Burrito (burrito or taco de harina) is one of the dishes of Mexican cuisine. He (it?) is a tortilla in which the filling is wrapped. The usual filling is finely chopped cooked meat and beans. But, just like with tacos, anything can be wrapped in a burrito. By the way, the word burrito itself means “little donkey” in Spanish. (after all, he!) Why? Well, there are options...

For the burrito you will need:

Canned beans

Corn

Bell pepper

Paprika (powder)

Ground black pepper

Ground chili pepper

Garlic powder or two finely chopped cloves

Two or three chili peppers. The pepper is long, make adjustments according to size!

I didn't make tortillas today, I just bought them from the store. Cheap and fast - preparing lunch took 25 minutes.

Yes, I forgot to add a piece of cheese to the food

Minced meat with a small amount of vegetable oil - in a frying pan

At the same time, open the beans and simmer/boil them in another frying pan over medium heat. The softer the beans, the better. Remember to add water (a little) as needed

While the process is underway, you can prepare the remaining components of the filling.

My child does not eat spicy food. If in the case of a taco he simply removed all the chile before putting the chicken into the tortilla, then with a burrito this will not work. So I added chili not to the meat, but to the onions.

So, finely chop the onion and both chili peppers.

Squeeze half a lime into them and mix everything, squeezing lightly. The picture should show that the onions have turned pink.

The minced meat is fried. Drain the liquid and let the minced meat sit in a colander. The less fat the better.

Finely chop the tomato and bell pepper and mix them

Mix beans and minced meat

Add all the spices, a teaspoon of each

Stir

Add a little water and boil, stirring from time to time.

We are waiting for the water to boil away

Let's grate the cheese.

Has the water almost boiled away? Drain off the remainder and let sit in a colander.

Heat the tortillas in the microwave

Place the meat and beans on the tortilla. You can pour any sauce (tabasco) before this, or you don’t have to pour it.

On top of all other components as desired

I would like to say a few words about what it is burrito. A burrito (or more correctly a burrito) is a corn or wheat tortilla filled with a filling, usually meat, a traditional Mexican dish. Recently, people have shown great interest in Chinese, Italian, Mexican, and Brazilian dishes. How to cook a burrito? In this recipe I suggest step by step burrito preparation homemade from products that are available to everyone, and the flatbread will be ordinary pita bread. Let's get started!

Let's get started!

To prepare 6 burritos, we will need:

• Chicken breasts - 2 pcs. (pre-boil in salted water)
• Sweet bell pepper - 1 pc.
• Fresh tomatoes - 2 pcs.
• Fresh champignons - 200 g (or 1 can of salted ones)
• Onions - 2-3 heads (it is better to use red)
• Parsley - 1 bunch
• Garlic - 1−2 cloves
• Vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. spoons
• Cheese - 150 g (semi-hard varieties)
• Armenian lavash - 6 pcs. (you can use corn tortillas)
• Ketchup - 2 tbsp. spoons
• Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp. spoon
• Pepper

Before starting cooking, I suggest preparing all the ingredients, since the frying process will take 2-3 minutes for each ingredient. Burrito is a dish for those who love creativity, so don’t limit yourself in choosing ingredients - try something new. If something is not at hand, replace it. Preparing a burrito can be divided into 2 stages: preparing the filling and directly folding the burrito envelopes.

Burrito making process

1. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Boiled chicken breast fillet - cubes. Sweet pepper - medium pieces. Finely chop the parsley. Tomatoes - cut into cubes. Grate the cheese. Finely chop the garlic. If the mushrooms are fresh, cut them crosswise into thin slices, but if they are canned, cut into pieces, then you don’t need to do anything.
   
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion. Add finely chopped garlic and fry it all for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
   
3. Add chicken, stir and fry for 2-3 minutes. It should look like a mass, like in the photo on the right 😉
   
4. Add mushrooms. If you use raw champignons, increase the frying time to 5 minutes. Mix.
   
5. Next, add bell peppers to brighten up our burrito filling! Fry for 2-3 minutes until the peppers become soft. Lightly salt the resulting mass and add a little black pepper.
   
6. It's time to add the chopped tomatoes. Mix everything and fry for 2-3 minutes.
   
7. Next, add chopped parsley. Without greens, the burrito will not be as flavorful and beautiful! Stir and simmer a little - 2-3 minutes. That's it, the burrito filling is ready. Now comes the important part: the burrito filling.
   
8. The burrito folding deserves special attention. I tried to make it as clear as possible. Unroll the pita bread (or tortilla) and put the filling in the middle, which needs to cool slightly. Cover the top with lavash and pull it to the edge. Then we wrap the edges on the right and left and fold it into an envelope. Next, wrap the entire pita bread completely. The burrito is ready. We also make all the pita breads. Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the burrito. And put it in the oven or microwave (you can use the grill function - this will make the cheese more rosy).
   
9. Remove the burrito from the microwave (or oven). Apply a pattern on top with mayonnaise and ketchup. For example, as in the photo:
   

So, our burrito is ready!

Serve it hot. With sweet tea. Or other drinks to your liking 😉

Summer. Heat. Mexico. You are sitting in the shade of trees at a table in a small cafe and watching a smiling Mexican prepare you a burrito. What? You don't know what a burrito is?! This is a Mexican dish famous all over the world, consisting of a tortilla and a filling wrapped in it, and there are such an incredible number of filling options that even the Mexicans themselves do not know all of them. And since it doesn’t matter with the Mexicans in Russia, we’ll have to get out of it ourselves! Let's try to cook a couple of variations and at the same time add at least one burrito recipe to our treasure chest?

Where does a burrito start?

Any burrito recipe starts, of course, with the tortilla. And to make our dish as Mexican as possible, we will not replace tortillas (as the Mexicans call flatbread) with pita bread, but will bake them ourselves. So let's get started!

Let's bake tortillas!

Take two and a half glasses of flour, a glass of hot water, 50 g of fat (butter or margarine), a teaspoon of salt. Pour two glasses of flour and salt into a deep bowl, then stir in the fat and knead it thoroughly with your hands, mixing it with the flour. Pour in a glass of hot water (not boiling water!), while stirring the dough thoroughly with a fork, transfer it to the table and continue kneading, gradually adding the remaining flour. The dough should be manageable and not very steep. Cover it with film and leave for half an hour to rest. Then knead the dough a little more and divide it into pieces the size of a tennis ball. Roll them into thin flat cakes, which we bake in a dry frying pan for about thirty seconds until brown spots appear. As they bake, stack the cakes in a mound, interspersing them with parchment sheets. Wrap the finished cakes in film to avoid drying out, then it will be easy to wrap the filling in them. Whatever burrito recipe you choose, this flatbread will go perfectly with it.

Let's make the filling!

Now let's start preparing the filling, and so that you have plenty to choose from, we will present two options.

Chicken burrito filling

You will need a couple of chicken breasts, a medium-sized onion, a glass of milk, a can of canned corn, one hundred grams of hard cheese, a tablespoon of flour, a couple of cloves of garlic, cumin, sour cream, butter and vegetable oil for frying.

Cut the chicken into cubes and the onion into rings and lightly fry them in vegetable oil. At this stage, add cumin and salt. Puree the corn, along with the juice from the can, using a blender and pour it into the frying pan. Add half a glass of milk, butter and flour. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Add garlic and simmer for another ten minutes. When the filling is ready, put it on the tortillas, sprinkle with grated cheese and wrap the tortillas on three sides. Place the burritos on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until the cheese melts.

Omelet Burrito Recipe

For this filling we take four eggs, half a glass of hard cheese, ground black pepper, sour cream, olive oil, one hundred grams of green chili pepper.

Beat eggs, add pepper and salt. In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and fry the chili peppers for about a minute. Then fill them with beaten eggs and mix until they harden. The filling is ready, put it on flatbread, sprinkle with cheese and wrap on three sides. Now you know how to make a burrito, you can easily add a little Mexico into your life!

Burrito is a famous Mexican dish that consists of a traditional Mexican tortilla and filling.

Fry the onion and garlic in vegetable oil for about 2 minutes over medium heat. After that, put them on a plate.

Cut the chicken into small pieces and fry in heated vegetable oil over high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Fry in small parts so that a crust appears on the meat faster, which will prevent the juice from escaping and the chicken will be juicier and softer. Salt to taste and mix.

Add onion, garlic and pepper, cut into strips, to the meat. Fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes.

Add beans, corn, cumin, ground chili pepper and tomatoes to the pan. I used canned tomatoes, but you can also use tomato puree or finely chopped peeled tomatoes. Zira should be ground or rubbed with your fingers to small grains. Mix well and fry over medium heat for another 3 minutes.
