Questions about Beef burrito
How do you stop a beef burrito from falling apart?
Warm the tortilla briefly in a dry pan so it bends without cracking. Keep wet salsa and sour cream away from the edges, fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the side nearest you.
How do you make a beef burrito at home?
Brown minced beef in a hot pan, breaking it up, then season with cumin, chilli, garlic and salt. Spoon it into a warm tortilla with rice, beans or cheese, fold and toast seam-side down until golden.
How do you reheat a beef burrito without drying it out?
For a soft tortilla, wrap the burrito in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave it in short bursts until piping hot throughout. To crisp the outside, finish it in a dry frying pan.
Can you freeze beef burritos?
Yes. Let the filling cool, wrap each burrito tightly, and freeze; leave out lettuce, sour cream and fresh tomato, which turn watery. Defrost in the fridge before reheating until piping hot throughout.
