Today's Mexican cuisine is always able to surprise even the most sophisticated gourmet. Plenty of recipes for meat and chicken dishes with the addition of hot spices in the north of the country, to the southeast, it is replaced by more nutritious dishes of fish and seafood.
Mexican buritos alone can be prepared in many ways using a combination of seemingly completely inharmonious ingredients.
Few people know that initially the cuisine of these people looked completely different. At one time, many nations influenced it, including the conquerors. These are the Indians, who brought corn and chili pepper into the tradition, and the Spaniards with the French, who discovered the Mexican people an abundance of vegetables and methods of cooking flour products. Perhaps it was under their influence that the Mexican-style Buritos dish acquired exactly the look and taste that we know today. This is, in fact, meatloaf with the addition of vegetables and various spices, wrapped in a tender wheat tortilla. However, there are many variations: it is burritos with chicken instead of traditional meat, with salad and sour cream to soften the spicy taste, with tomato paste instead of chili, etc.
Components
To prepare this simple dish, you need a few ingredients: traditional tortillas, minced meat or chicken fillet of your choice (you should choose a less fatty option, for example, ground beef or chicken breasts) - 600-700 grams, hard cheese - 250-300 grams , one large onion and a few cloves of garlic, bell pepper (preferably red to give a characteristic color) and a couple of tomatoes. Buritos in Mexican must certainly have a bright taste, so for the spice we take a few pods of hot pepper, the juice of half a lemon, salt and spices.
Cooking
All prepared vegetables must be thoroughly peeled, washed and cut into small cubes or elongated slices. Then, to prepare the sauce, they should be fried in vegetable oil, and then transferred to a slow fire until all the moisture has evaporated. Then you need to add lemon juice and leave to brew a little in the pan. At this time, prepare the meat for burritos. The recipe also involves the addition of beans to the meat stewed with onions and garlic. Now the most important thing remains: to fill the tortillas with minced meat, pour over with stewed sauce, and top with grated cheese and wrap them with an envelope. Mexican-style finished buritos should be placed on a baking sheet or in the microwave and turned on the oven until the cheese on the outside and in the filling melts.
After they are ready, they need to be sprinkled with hot pepper and immediately serve, because this dish needs to be eaten exclusively hot, in the heat of the heat. And if your gourmets like fresher tastes, then chopped or even torn greens can be laid on top of cheese over the cheese, especially cilantro or lettuce. You can also add a wide variety of spices to your taste: paprika and turmeric, allspice and black pepper, and the sauce can be made on a creamy basis, without pepper, so that younger households can also enjoy the dish.
