Tortilla and Base

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook the Mexican Rice

    In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until rice is fluffy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Refried Beans

    Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Protein

    Choose one protein option: For asada, grill seasoned steak until desired doneness. For chicken, shred cooked chicken. For al pastor, sauté marinated pork until cooked through. For chorizo, crumble and cook until browned. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble the Burrito

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of refried beans, followed by 1/2 cup of Mexican rice, and 1/4 cup of your chosen protein. Add 1/4 cup of pico de gallo, 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce, and 1/4 cup of sour cream. Top with 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

  3. 7

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the fillings are enclosed.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Cut the burrito in half if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your Burrito Luna!
