What is a burrito? The best burrito recipe: detailed description

Bright expressive salsa, strong aromatic tequila and burritos seasoned with hot chili peppers - all these are components of Mexican cuisine. Not everyone will have the opportunity to visit Mexico, but everyone can throw a salsa party, drink tequila and treat their friends to a real Mexican burrito. If everything is more or less clear with salsa and tequila, with burritos the situation is more complicated. Burritos are the concentration of true Mexican passion. Passion, like any other strong feeling, is impossible to describe, because everyone experiences it in their own way, so it is difficult to define it, just like everyone will have their own burrito.

The appearance of a Mexican burrito is reminiscent of our usual pancakes; it is a thin, soft flatbread in which a wide variety of fillings are wrapped. Ideally, a burrito should be very spicy, although what kind of ideal are we talking about, because a great many recipes for this dish can be found, and one single classic cooking option still does not exist. The main thing to be guided by when preparing a burrito is your own taste; your imagination will also come in handy. It’s worth trying to make a burrito in such a way that, after taking a small bite, you can feel the heat of the scorching sun, the clear rhythm of salsa and the cool shadow of a huge Mexican cactus.

Have you already decided to try your hand at making a real burrito? Then let's begin. An invariable part of any burrito has always been the tortilla - this is the same flatbread in which the filling is wrapped. Mexicans use this flatbread not only for preparing a variety of dishes; for them, a tortilla is a plate, fork and spoon rolled into one. Almost any Mexican dish can be placed on a tortilla and eaten with the same tortilla, you can use it to scoop up the sauce, hold a piece of meat and extinguish the fire in your mouth that has raged from a small chili pepper. Traditionally, tortillas are baked over an open fire in clay pans called comals, but this is how they do it in Mexico, which is far from ours. We, residents of Russia, have three options for getting tortillas: buy the finished product in a store, although it’s not at all a fact that the bright packaging with a catchy name will contain exactly what you need, replace the tortilla with lavash, but then your burrito will be called a banal shawarma, or try baking your own Mexican tortillas. We lean towards the latter option and suggest starting to prepare a burrito by preparing the tortilla.

To make a tortilla at home, you will need 2 cups of corn flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 50 grams of lard or margarine and about a glass and a quarter of hot water. Pour the flour into a deep bowl, add salt to it and stir. Grate the lard or margarine on a coarse grater and add to the flour. Stir and begin rubbing the flour and lard with your hands until the mixture begins to crumble. Then pour in hot water in a thin stream, remembering to stir the dough until it becomes soft and pliable. Add a little more flour and knead the dough, divide it into 10-12 pieces and cover with a warm, damp towel for a few minutes. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Dust the board with flour and use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a very thin cake. Heat a cast iron frying pan, reduce the heat and, without adding any oil, fry each tortilla on both sides for about 30-40 seconds. Cover the finished tortillas with a towel.

Half the battle is done! All that remains is to choose which burrito to cook. And there is plenty to choose from. You can make burritos with meat, poultry, vegetables, spicy and even sweet. You can wrap anything in a thin tortilla, for example, boiled beans or rice, meat and eggs, bell peppers and onions, and definitely some kind of sauce. We offer three burrito recipes: meat, vegetarian and sweet. Which of these options to prepare, which ingredient to remove and which to add is up to you.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts,
3 limes,

Squeeze the juice out of the lime and add 2/3 of it to the chicken. Leave the chicken to marinate for 15 minutes. Wash and cut the pepper into thin strips, peel and cut the onion into rings, chop the tomatoes. If you have a grill pan, fry the chicken on it; if not, you can use a regular frying pan. Place the fried chicken on a cutting board and let it cool, then cut into thin strips. Place tortillas on a clean surface, top with peppers, onions, tomatoes, herbs and chicken, and sprinkle with remaining lime juice. Grate the cheese on a fine grater and sprinkle on top of the tortillas. Form a burrito and place it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

2 sweet bell peppers,
2 tomatoes
200 grams of green beans,
1 tbsp. boiled rice,
ground paprika,
ground chili pepper,

Peel the seeds and cut the bell peppers into thin strips, peel and chop the tomatoes, finely chop the fresh herbs. Place a frying pan on the fire and heat a little olive oil in it, add green beans, chopped peppers and tomatoes. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, then add rice, salt and pepper and add herbs. Place the slightly cooled filling into tortillas, form a burrito and place in a preheated oven for a few minutes.

Sprinkle the finished burrito with powdered sugar and serve.

Just the sight of these incredibly tasty burritos lifts your spirits; their aroma beckons you to take at least a small bite to enjoy new flavor combinations. It would seem that everything is already ready, wash your hands, take it and eat, but it was not so. A burrito without sauce is not a real burrito!

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 tough. 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!

The Mexican burrito is similar in appearance to our Russian pancakes. This is a thin round soft flatbread in which a variety of fillings are wrapped. How to properly prepare a burrito at home and what filling to choose? Read in this review.
Recipe contents:

Recently, Mexican cuisine has become increasingly popular. Of the many different dishes, the most popular is the Mexican burrito. Despite the fact that many consider this dish to be fast food, everyone who tried it could not remain indifferent. Skilled chefs use their imagination and create something delicious and vibrant. What is the secret of such love? Let's find out!

Mexican tortilla comes in two types, made from corn or wheat flour. At home it is more traditional - corn, and in our countries it is wheat. Its second name is tortilla. Any food is wrapped in it, and after rolling, it is often fried on both sides in melted or butter to form a crispy crust. Burritos are also grilled or baked in the oven, sprinkled with cheese.

Recipes for burrito fillings vary, but they are always full of brightly colored ingredients. In Mexico they eat it with just one or two ingredients. The most common filling is canned beans, stewed onions and goat cheese. An equally colorful filling is chicken fillet fried in spices, tomatoes and herbs. Also in demand are the filling of vegetables and olives stewed in oil, fried minced meat with onions and avocado. Rice and buckwheat are often included in the filling. And to add sophistication, local chefs add pork ears or strips of bacon. In addition, there are sweet dessert tortillas with bananas and strawberries.

To prepare the famous Mexican dish and feel the fiery Mexican mood, the first thing you need to do is learn how to cook tortilla. This step-by-step burrito recipe will tell you how to make it.

In Mexican cuisine, there are several dishes based on tortilla flatbread. In Mexico, they can easily replace both a fork and a spoon. Locals scoop soup and sauce into a flatbread, hold onto meat and vegetables, and at the end of the meal they simply eat it. But it’s much tastier to wrap the prepared filling inside and serve the tortilla as an independent dish. We will tell you what a burrito is and how to prepare it correctly in our article. Here we will offer a recipe for a fried burrito - chimichanga.

What is a burrito

Crispy tortilla and juicy filling inside - this is how you can describe this national Mexican dish. However, today not only Mexicans, but also Europeans are well aware of what a burrito is. A flatbread filled with chicken, minced meat, mushrooms or vegetables is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This dish is loved by many for its speed of preparation and versatility, because almost any ingredients can be used as a filling, and Mexican flatbreads, if necessary, can be replaced with thin Armenian lavash.

The history of the dish is closely connected with tortilla cakes, which the Indians baked over an open fire. They wrapped the prepared omelette, tomatoes and red hot pepper inside and ate the prepared dish for breakfast. There are several varieties of burritos, such as deep-fried (chimichanga) or oven-baked (enchilada). Thanks to the ability to experiment with fillings, the dish is also suitable for vegan cuisine.

Classic chicken burrito

For a burrito, all the ingredients are fried and mixed in advance, and then simply placed on a tortilla and wrapped in a tube. The taste of the dish depends entirely on the composition and method of preparation of the filling. Depending on the ingredients used, it can be a meat or vegan burrito.

The recipe with photos at home is as follows:

Chicken breast (500 g) is cut into thin strips and fried in vegetable oil until cooked.
Onions and chili peppers cut into rings are fried in a separate frying pan.
In a deep bowl, mix diced cooled chicken breast, onions and hot peppers, sweet bell peppers, canned beans (300 g), and a little Chinese cabbage. All ingredients are mixed well.
A lettuce leaf is placed on the flatbread, and a few tablespoons of filling are placed on top of it.
The tortilla is rolled into a tube, poured with tomato sauce and sprinkled with grated cheese. To melt the cheese, place the burrito in the microwave or oven for a minute.

Burrito with minced meat and beans

To prepare a burrito, you can use tortilla made from wheat or corn flour, Armenian lavash or thin Russian pancakes. The main thing is that the filling is juicy and appetizing.

What is a burrito and how to prepare it with photos and step by step, we will describe in the following instructions:

A burrito is a tortilla with a large amount of filling. You definitely shouldn’t skimp on the quantity of ingredients, otherwise the dish will turn out dry.
A mandatory ingredient is sauce. To prepare it, finely chop and fry onion, garlic, tomato, and sweet pepper in a frying pan until tender (2 pieces of all ingredients). Salt and spices are added to taste.
Minced beef (500 g) is fried in a separate frying pan, and then canned beans (400 g) are added.
The meat part of the filling is combined with sauce, mixed and placed on a flatbread. This amount of ingredients will make about 10 burritos.
The filling is sprinkled with cheese on top, after which the flatbread is rolled into a tube.

Chicken and Corn Burrito Recipe

The chicken and corn burrito filling is light and at the same time filling, juicy and healthy. You can wrap the filling in soft and thin pita bread. The resulting amount will make as many as 8 servings.

The burrito recipe with photo (from pita bread with chicken) is performed in the following sequence:

First of all, you need to cut the pita sheet into 3-4 pieces so that it resembles a tortilla in size.
Next, in a frying pan with vegetable oil (2 tablespoons), onion is fried in half rings and boiled chicken breast (250 g) cut into cubes.
Next add diced tomato, salt, pepper and canned corn (1 can).
As soon as the filling has cooled, it is laid out in the center of the pita bread, sprinkled with grated cheese and herbs on top.
The pita bread is wrapped in a tube and sprinkled with cheese again.

Vegetable burrito made from pita bread

A light vegetable snack wrapped in pita bread can also claim to be directly related to a burrito. This is a simplified version of the dish that can be prepared at home in just 10 minutes. Thanks to step-by-step instructions, it will become clear what a burrito is and how to prepare it, both with tortilla and pita bread.

Cooking sequence:

Champignons (100 g) are cut into thin slices and fried in vegetable oil.
Tomatoes (2 pcs.) are cut into thin slices or cubes.
Bell peppers and avocados are crushed in a similar way.
The sauce is prepared from sour cream (150 ml), mustard (1 teaspoon), garlic (2 cloves), salt and sugar (½ teaspoon each).
The lavash sheet is cut in half (for 2 servings), the sauce is distributed on top and the vegetable filling, grated cheese and finely chopped herbs are laid out.
The edge of the pita bread is folded inward to prevent the filling from falling out, after which the burrito is rolled up into a tube.

Vegan burrito with photos at home

By adhering to the principles of vegan nutrition or church fasting, you can eat no less varied than in ordinary life. In the following dish, animal protein, which is found in meat, is completely replaced by vegetable protein. This means that the body will receive a sufficient amount of nutrients and vitamins. Below we offer a burrito recipe with photos.

At home, the dish is prepared step by step in the following sequence:

Canned beans (2 cans) are placed in a frying pan and stewed with tomatoes until the liquid has completely evaporated. Salt and spices are added to the filling to taste.
The tortilla is smeared with hot chili sauce (1 teaspoon each).
Cooled beans and tomatoes, grated cheese and avocado slices are placed in the center of the flatbread.
The tortilla is wrapped in an envelope or tube and served to the table.

Chimichanga - fried burrito with hot sauce

This Mexican dish is nothing more than a deep-fried burrito. A thin flatbread with a crispy crust and juicy filling will definitely appeal to anyone who can afford to eat higher-calorie foods.

So, what is a burrito and how it can be prepared was presented above. Now is the time to learn how to make chimichanga. The cooking sequence is as follows:

Finely chopped garlic is fried in vegetable oil, then boiled chicken breast (250 g). Add a little ketchup (2 tablespoons) and boiled rice (70 g) to the ingredients in the frying pan. Salt is added to taste.
The filling is placed on a flatbread, sprinkled with cheese and wrapped.
The finished tortilla envelopes with filling are fried in heated vegetable oil over medium heat and served hot.

Burrito in the oven with cheese

If you not only wrap the filling in a tortilla, but also spread sauce on top, sprinkle with cheese and put it in the oven, you will get a completely new dish - enchilada. You can prepare any meat or vegetable filling for it. Depending on this, you will get either a light snack or a full burrito. A recipe with a photo at home in the oven is offered below:

Beef (300 g) is chopped with a sharp knife and fried in vegetable oil. Add onion, diced tomatoes (2 pcs.), sweet pepper and garlic. When the meat and vegetables are ready, add canned beans (200 ml).
The filling is placed in the center of the tortilla, after which the tortilla is rolled into an envelope and placed in a baking dish.
Each flatbread is topped with spicy tomato sauce and sprinkled with grated cheese.
The tortillas are baked in the oven for 7 minutes at 180°, after which they are still hot and served to the table.

Bon appetit!

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

Burrito is a dish for those who love creativity, so don’t limit yourself in choosing ingredients - try something new.

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 tortillas)
Ketchup - 2 tbsp. spoons
Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp. spoon
Pepper

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.

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.

Add chicken, stir and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Add mushrooms. If you use raw champignons, increase the frying time to 5 minutes. Mix.

It's time to add the chopped tomatoes. Mix everything and fry for 2-3 minutes.

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.

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).

Remove the burrito from the microwave (or oven). Apply a pattern on top with mayonnaise and ketchup.

Add chopped bell pepper here, simmer the resulting mass for 5 minutes and add 200 grams of tomato paste.

Simmer the resulting mixture for 5-10 minutes and add finely chopped greens.

As soon as our burrito filling is ready, you need to put it on tortillas or pita bread and wrap it in the form of envelopes.

First, peel the onions. You can use any onion, wash it under water and then cut it into cubes.

Then we need to carefully cut the chili pepper. You should wear gloves when cutting it, as it can cause burns on the skin of your hands. Of course, we first wash all the vegetables under running water. As soon as you cut the chili pepper, you should wash the board and knife.

As soon as all the vegetables are ready, we begin to mince. You can buy it ready-made, but you can also grind the meat yourself in a meat grinder. Be sure to take meat from different animals, then you will get a delicious, juicy dish that will give you an unforgettable aroma. As soon as the minced meat is ready, put the frying pan on the fire.

Recipe 7, step by step: burrito with mushrooms and omelet

Fresh champignons 150 g
Zira (Cumin) ground 1 tsp
Potatoes 2 pcs
Bacon (or sausage) 100 g
White onion ½ piece
Butter 3 tbsp.
Milk ¼ tbsp
Dry chili pepper 1 tsp
Sweet pepper ½ piece
Tortilla 6-8 pcs
Garlic 1 clove
Fresh spinach 2 pcs
Chicken eggs 5 pcs

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion and potatoes, and cook until potatoes are golden brown. Then add bell pepper.

Add mushrooms and cook until softened.

Now rake the vegetables to one side of the pan and fry the sausage or bacon in the remaining space. The meat should be completely cooked through. Then combine the meat and vegetables, add spices and mix well.

Add spinach and cook for about a minute.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk.

If your pan is large enough, scrape the vegetables and meat aside and fry the omelet in the same pan (don't forget to add a little oil!). If not, do it in a separate pan.

And then combine with the vegetable and meat mixture.

Fill the tortillas with the prepared filling and serve with your favorite sauce. Bon appetit!
