This is in my opinion one of the best videos out there showing you how to make chicken burritos. If you search for burrito recipes on youtube there’s not a lot of good videos there.
One guy asked how the beans in this video are made. Those are refried beans, here’s a video showing how to make refried beans, although if you’re not in a hurry you might like to cook dry pinto beans.
Video description: A thick, delicious meat filling is wrapped in a yummy flour tortilla, and devoured on the spot! The burrito is one of the most popular - and satisfying - menu items ordered at Mexican restaurants and food stands. The chefs at Los Angeles’ famous El Coyote Café show you how to make burritos the easy way, right in your own kitchen.
What is the difference between burrito recipes and taco recipes?
Tacos and burritos are both types of food found in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine consisting of a tortilla with a filling, but a few differences separates them from each other.
Tacos are sometimes made with corn tortillas, while a burrito is always served in a flour tortilla. The size of the tortillas in a burrito is also larger and the filling is fully enclosed.
Traditionally, in Mexico, burritos often includes meat (beef, ground meat or asada, chicken, pork, fish, or goat), rice, beans, potatoes, sausage, cheese and different hot and mild chiles. In America burritos are often topped with more cheese, lettuce and sour cream. The authentic Mexican burrito is usually thin and small, only containing one or two ingredients.
Burritos are originally from northern Mexico, and although they are not common in other parts of Mexico they are one of the most popular Mexican cuisines outside of Mexico. However, outside of Mexico these recipes have often changed a lot from the authentic burritos, to the point where it might not even be recognized as a burrito.
Here’s a few enticing burrito recipes you can use to get inspired.
