Grilled Stuff Burritos: Five Steps to Burrito WIN

I was recently asked for my recipe for grilled stuffed burritos. If you’ve read our Recipe Disclaimer, then you know that I don’t really have recipes for my food, I tend to just collect techniques and flavor combinations that I like and apply them as the situation calls for, adjusting for available ingredients and my whims of the moment.

  • I tend to cut as few corners as possible, which makes my food tend to NOT be a quick meal to prepare.
  • I’m describing my personal style of burrito, and I don’t at all claim that these are authentic Mexican dishes, or that this is the only way burritos can be done.

I’m going to detail it below in what I call “recipe style”. It’s not really a recipe, because that implies instructions, and I wouldn’t insult your culinary intelligence like that. I’m just recapping what I did. Read the rest of this entry »
