Method

Cooking the Protein

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    Choose your protein: steak, chicken, pernil, or mushrooms. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces or slice the mushrooms.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chosen protein and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through or until mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Assembling the Burrito Frito

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice with the cooked protein. Mix well to combine.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Burrito

    Lay a tortilla flat (if using) and add the rice and protein mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa roja, salsa verde, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

  3. 7

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito. If not using a tortilla, serve the mixture in a bowl and top with all the toppings.
