I made my first burrito after some episodes of Dexter where some characters eat big american burritos from a food truck. At that time I never had tried real burritos nor even fake ones. The only Mexican restaurant at that time in Lisbon was expensive and not that good, I learned that after…
That said, my burritos do not taste like the real stuff I tasted in Mexico but this doesn’t mean I changed the way I make them. My burritos are tasty and super easy to cook. My burritos are one of my favourite comfort food.
You can use wraps from the supermarket or DIY (recipe here).
