How to make a Mexican burrito.
We know a lot about hamburgers, hot dogs and other dishes from the “fast food” category, but today not everyone knows what a burrito is. Meanwhile, a burrito is a great quick dish, hearty and appetizing!
burrito is a traditional dish of Mexican cuisine. This is a universal dish. It can be prepared with meat, fish, mushroom or even fruit filling. The main thing that everyone who wants to touch the basics of Mexican cuisine will need is tortillas.
These tortillas are made from wheat or corn flour and are one of the national dishes of Mexico. The principle of making a burrito is simple: take tortillas and put the filling on it – minced meat, beans, avocado, tomatoes, cheese or other ingredients to your taste, season it all with tomato and chili sauce and serve it warm to the table!
Everything is very, very simple, but something can still cause considerable difficulties – it is finding the tortillas necessary for the preparation of this dish. You can find them not in every supermarket, but if you replace them, for example, with pita bread, it will turn out just as tasty as in our version.
