/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Cook the beef in chili seasoning or salsa (or add some salsa to the beans)

Make sure the tortilla is warm from a pan so it's chewy and pliable

Boil the rice in a meaty stock or make Spanish rice

Can you elaborate more on preparing the rice?

replace beans with onions

But beans are the magical fruit

meat absorbs flavor and spices. try cooking it in some onion, garlic, and cilantro, with a little bit of paprika, salt & pepper.
for preparing rice in a meatier stock, some people replace the water with chicken broth or bouillon.

Add guacamole
Add sour cream
Add homemade pico de gallo
Add hot sauce to taste

These ingredients make a world of difference.

I don't personally like rice in burritos (I prefer it as a side dish), but anyway....
For tasty rice, you can do several things. FIrst off, let's assume this is for one cup of dry rice to 2 cups liquid.
>1 cup rice, 1 cup meat stock of your choice (the richer, the better) 1 cup canned tomatoes with green chilies, half and onion, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground chile of your choice, salt and pepper to taste. Blend everything (but the rice of course) together before adding to the rice and cooking.
>1 cup rice, 1 cup meat stock, 1 cup green sauce (salsa verde)
>1 cup rice, 2 cups meat stock, 1-2 minced serrano chiles (depending on how spicy you like it), handful chopped cilantro added at the end of cooking

agreed with everything posted in the thread, but also the rice should be heavily seasoned with lime and cilantro

but i really want to know where i can get tortilla wraps like chipotle has. it's super thin and stretchy, and sticky when moist.

Sorry about your shit genes.

Me again. Had to take break to go stir my dinner as it's cooking.
Okay, so I don't know how much trouble you want to go to, I guess it depends on how much you like burritos and how often you eat them. BUT, as far as beans go, it's really better to cook them yourself from dried beans. It's not hard, it just takes time. Here's a basic bean recipe that you can use whole, or mash, for burritos.
>1 pound bag pinto beans or pink beans, cleaned and rinsed
>soak overnight (some people don't, it's up to you, I just prefer it because it does shorten the cooking time somewhat)
>In a large pot, saute some onions in whatever fat you prefer, I usually use bacon fat
>Add beans, some roughly chopped garlic, and a piece of thick bacon, or salt pork, or a ham bone
>cover with enough liquid that it comes about 1 1/2 - 2 inches above the beans. I usually use half stock, and then fill up the rest with beer and water
>bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, uncovered, until beans are tender.
>While beans are cooking, combine 2 big spoonfuls tomato paste with 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon ground chile of your choice, and a teaspoon or so of cumin
>When beans are tender, add the spice/tomato mixture and let cook for 20 more minutes.
>Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper to taste.
>Use however you want.

Now, about meat. First you have to tell me what kinds of meat you prefer for your burritos, OP.

>>6307752

Second for soaking overnight. It's easier to get to soft beans if they are soaked. Heavy on the lard (like a true mexican) and salt in the beans. I don't salt the rice too much so that it adds a sweeter, tangy flavor to the burrito.

You have to make tortillas from scratch for them to be any better than what you can buy. Or find someone that makes them fresh. It's not the easiest thing to do either.

More salt, more acid. Even without any other seasoning, just those two things will make it much tastier. Add other stuff, too, though, but there's already been some good advice on that.

Use pic related and polluted water for authenticity, because you know.

I made burritos a. Few nights ago

I cooked the chickken in a skillet while i threw beans, tomatoes, nd velveeta in a bowl and nuked it.

I fucked it up it was too watery but the burritos were still good.

As long as u throw that tortilla on the skillet don't u dare nuke it

>>6307635
They're neither magical nor musical.

They are great though. But they do not create gas or magic inside people.

>muh myths.

>>6308079
>velveeta

>>6307746
Don't feel sorry for his shit existence. Just laugh.

how do you make that adobo shit mexicans cook meat with? I thought it was a red paste but the stuff I found at the store was a white powder.

>>6308183
Adobo isn't made or sold as a white powder.... ever... :|

>>6307760
Thanks for the advice! I'll have to try soon (though some stuff is probably way too much work for me)

As far as meat goes I pretty much only ever make fry-ed beef. I'm open to suggestions though

>>6308098
>velveeta

>>6308207
Ever?

>>6309464
Is this spice white or yellow?

>>6308359
That should already be in your pico de gallo, but if you really like the stuff, then sure.
