Burritos are truly a family affair.
This is a very quick,
fun meal to prepare and eat.
The trick is to involve the help of everyone.
The only pain I have to endure is, hearing “Hey… Burrito”
every few seconds. This is the way my sons express their excitement…
Spicy Bean Burritos are a great way to incorporate the
dreaded bean into your meals.
My Snappy Method: 30 minutes
- Make Tortilla Dough
- Prepare all Toppings – Enlist a happy helper
- Roll out Tortillas – Enlist some happier help
- Prepare Spicy Beans.
- Fry Tortillas.
- Set the Table and have fun filling, layering and eating…
Egg-less Tortillas:
2 C Cake
Flour
½ t Salt
¾ C Water
3 T Oil
- Combine Flour and Salt.
- Add Water and Oil.
- Knead for 5 minutes until dough becomes soft and smooth.
- Cover and leave to rest for 8 minutes.
I always enlist the Tortilla rolling skills of my son,
Deen.
- Flour surface and divide into small balls.
- Roll out thinly, into odd round shapes. No perfection
required.
- Brush with Oil, heat pan and fry oil-brushed side down.
- Brush top with oil, wait for bubbles to form & flip
over.
- Done! Now do the next one.
