Burrito

Tex-Mex cuisine is where this particular recipe is derived! Instead of the traditional meat-and-bean filling so frequently used in Mexico, Tex-Mex takes it just a step further by adding more ingredients for a larger and more versatile burrito.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef fajita, cooked and sliced (you can refer to my Beef Fajita recipe for this!)
  • 1 cup yellow onions, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans, cooked
  • 2 cups Mexican green rice
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • Pepper
  • Tortilla

Directions:

  1. Place the tortilla on a flat surface.
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and season with pepper.
  3. Add about 1 cup of the mixture ( depending on the size of the tortilla) and wrap it like shown on the picture below.
  4. Bake in the oven 350 degrees 15 to 20 minutes or place in the panini press on medium low for 10 minutes.
  5. Serve while warm with Pico de Gallo, guacamole and sour cream. Enjoy!

Note:

I used leftover fajitas when I last made these! Any other meat, like rotisserie chicken or pulled pork, will still work well for this recipe. This is especially good for those who won’t have time to make the fajitas; in fact, the meats just mentioned are readily available in grocery stores.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. I use canned corn kernels and black beans.
Add the rice and meat.
Add the mozzarella cheese.
Add the cheddar cheese.
Place the tortilla on a flat surface and add about a cup of the filling (adjust this based the size of your tortillas; I used Jumbo sized tortillas so 1 cup was much needed!)
Pull the bottom half of the tortilla as far up as it can without moving the filling.
Fold the right side in, then the left side. Again, make sure the filling doesn’t get pushed around.
Then tightly roll your tortilla up to the top.
Wrap it in foil.
Wrap it in foil and bake it for 15 minutes or simply place it in a panini press.
