Steps

Part 1 of 2: Choosing Meat

The central ingredient in burrito is traditionally meat. The beauty of the meat tradition is that there are many delicious options to choose from. For the vegetarian option, you can omit the meat completely and replace it with tofu or portobello mushrooms. You can also ditch traditional Mexican meat and use Americanized ground beef.

1. 1 Try to cook carne asada. Carne asada is one of the most popular burrito supplements around. Carne asada is a marinated steak flank that is usually grilled over high heat and slightly charred. It is considered one of the more expensive cuts of meat, but it is quite indulgent on the grill. Like most Mexican meats, it is available in carniceria.
2. 2 Try adding chicken to your burrito. Although chicken is not a common burrito meat ingredient in Mexico, its popularity is growing steadily in America. The chicken is very versatile. Here are just three ways to prepare it for a burrito:
   • Boiled and chopped. Shredded chicken is a more Mexican style of cooking.
   • Fried chicken. Most often, dark chicken meat is fried and fried cut into small pieces, with a little oil and Mexican spices.
   • Chicken mole. Black mole is the perfect replacement for juicy chicken. Give it a try if you've never tried a variation on this dish, which is adored by 99% of Mexicans.
3. 3 Try burritos stuffed with carnitas. Carnitas is the Mexican name for slow-braised pork.The meat is first stewed slowly to decompose the collagens and cook the meat, then it is browned for a crispy texture.
4. 4 Prepare al pastor. "Al pastor" means "shepherd style," and is commonly associated with the Mexican interpretation of Lebanese shawarma. Today it is a popular way to cook pork and is delicious. Try this meat in a burrito. Do it!
5. 5 Try it chorizo. Chorizo ​​is a spicy pork sausage in a shell. It does not have an incredible flavor when roasted. It is often used in breakfast burritos, but also in regular burritos.
6. 6 Try it barbacoa. Barbacoa is the name from which the English word "barbecue." In modern Mexico, barbacoa refers to meat (usually lamb) cooked slowly over an open fire.
7. 7 Experiment with other, more exotic meats. Many biruto lovers are unaware of experimental meats, but they are a good break between beer and chicken. Go local carniceria and ask the butcher for the following:
   • Lengua - beef tongue
   • Cabeza - beef head
   • Tripa - intestines
8. 8 Make ground beef tacos. Taco-flavored ground beef is a highly respected burrito filling. If you don't want to go crazy trying the Mexican style for the first time, then try this recipe.

Part 2 of 2: Collecting the Burrito

When you decide what kind of meat you want to use, you will almost have a golden burrito in your hands. You can put the ingredients on the tortilla the way you want - covering one ingredient with another - but most burrito lovers prefer to do this in a specific way. Here's how.

1. 1 Heat a flour tortilla over steam or over a fire. Flour cakes acquire unique elasticity and soften slightly when heated. If you don't have a steam burrito heater on hand, try microwaving the cake for 20 seconds.
   • Be sure to choose a tortilla that is large enough. You will always want to make a larger burrito, but rolling a burrito into a small tortilla is difficult and will only lead to headaches and spilled ingredients.
2. 2 Place the tortilla on a large sheet of aluminum foil and place a healthy serving of Mexican rice in the rectangle in the middle of the tortilla. The shape is not that important as long as you leave room on all sides to wrap. If you don't want to cook Mexican rice, you can always use white rice or even brown rice for a healthier option.
3. 3 Place some beans on top of the rice. If you've chosen black beans to add to your burrito, drain off any excess liquid before adding. Again, the portions are not fixed. Many people add very little, but you can add as much as you like.
4. 4 Add a serving of meat of your preference. The meat is the star of the show, so give it time to bask in the glory. Ditto for the vegetarian version using tofu, mushrooms, etc.
5. 5 Sprinkle a small amount of cheese on top of the meat (optional). You can skip the cheese if you don't want to, but most burrito fans do add it. If you buy cheese from the store, try to find "Mexican Cheese 4". If you want to use one or two types of cheese, then take the following:
   • Monterrey jack
   • Cheddar
   • Asadero
   • Queso blanco
6. 6 Add green chili and tomato in roughly equal proportions. None of these ingredients are crudely needed, but they can make a good burrito even better. If you plan on adding salsa or pico de gallo, don't go overboard with tomatoes.
7. 7 Add a small portion of the onion to the tortilla. Green or grilled, onions are great additions to burritos, but should still not be overpriced.
8. 8 Add sour cream, guacamole and salsa in roughly equal proportions. Seasonings add flavor but also help keep the burrito from getting too dry.
9. 9 Cover with lettuce leaves. Crispy, succulent lettuce leaves add flavor. Especially if the contents of the burrito are warm, the lettuce leaves may wither slightly. So add a little more than you intend to.
10. 10 Roll the burrito. Fold the two edges of the burrito towards the center. Holding the side folds with your fingers, grab the bottom of the burrito with your thumbs and fold towards the center. Hold the burrito in the center and simply twist until the top fold is no longer visible.
    • Finish off the burrito by gently wrapping it in foil. The foil will keep the burrito warm. It can be removed as you eat your burrito.

• A little salsa will make the burrito taste even better.
• There are many options for making burritos and you can make your own. Try making a wet burrito when you master it. normal version.
