JPF Home Page Forums Creative Arts Forums Cooking, Crafting, Hobbies and Other Creative Pursuits Burritos... mmmmmmm

Hello all.

i am working my way back ontothe boards slowly...
here is a recipe i wrote for the best burritos ever. (if you happen to live in southern california, it is similar to the taco stands on the coin operated laundry side of town...
since i only cook these for my wife and i i only can do the ingredients for 4 burritos...

2 pounds of fresh skirt steaks (these may be markesd as breakfast steaks)
1 red onion
1 white onion
1 yellow onion
2 large tomatos
half a bunch of green onions (chives)
1 tub of sour cream
2 avacados and 1 pkg of guacamole mix
1 patch of fresh cilantro.
table spoon of butter.
package large burrito sized tortillas
half pound of shredded cheese (mexican style)
lime

strart out by chopping the onions and tomatos into small dices
add finely chopped cilantro and the juice from the fresh lime (jalapenos optional) mix them together and set them aside.

i feel bad explaining how to make the guacamole... it tells you how to do it on the package... just ensure you get soft enough avacados, and follow the instructions on the package. place to the side

warm a large frying pan at medium heat and melt a little of the butter. place your steaks in the warm pool of melted butter, and cook till browned on the outside flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking. when still hot, cut the steaks into 1/4 inch strips and then 1/2 inch lengths place the cooked meat in a bowl.

your large frying pan now has steak juice in it as well as the remnants of butter... if you wet a wad of paper towels and wipe it out while it is still hot and leave it on the stove.

with your clean large frying pan, turn the burner all the way up.and place a tortilla in the pan. spin the tortilla lightly with your fingers, and flip it when it begins to blister. (the tortilla not your hand) pull out the tortilla when the the other side blisters, and place it on a plate. place steak, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and fresca on in that order, and roll the burrito up by flipping up the sides, and then rolling it from one of the sides that is still round to the other side which is also still round. (it is more of an art than a science) you can only truely make one at a time. so get people eating as they are ready. garnish with corona, or margaritas
