BURRITO´S STORY

Between 1910 and 1921, at Mexican Revolution’s time, a men called Juan Méndez had a food stall at Juárez, Chihuahua. He created a special big flour tortilla which filled with meat and then rolled it to kept warm. Since that moment, Méndez started to receive a lot of orders, so he decided to buy a donkey who transported the food across Río Bravo. It was so succesful, a lot of mexicans and americans began to arrive asking about “burrito’s food”

PREPARATION

First we have to cook meat and chicken in oil with salt and chopped onion, also we put wheat tortillas only to fry in oil. Then we chop meat, the chicken breast, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms and the avocado and we put all in a flour tortilla and let it fry for five minutes and add salt, pepper and lettuce as we like. Finally we put everything on the tortilla, roll up, put on a piece of lettuce with some mushrooms.

TIPS

·         You should put the food at the tortilla’s center and fold the rest two sides to create a crease where the contents will rest. After that, you must tuck the sides in one hand while the other hand is being used to tighten the center. 

·         Add chilli to give Mexican flavor to the burritos.
