Mexican Burritos


If you feel like eating Mexican, you can make your own Kosher Mexican meal. Today, I'm showing you how to make your own burritos. The art of making burritos is in the burrito wrap. It can be annoying if your burrito filling falls out as you try to savor it.  So, I use a foolproof technique of wrapping my burritos. It is very similar to wrapping a Chinese spring roll.  So, here's the recipe.

Serving Size: 2-4 people

1 package of Kosher Burrito wrap (I like Wrap-itz Kosher Burrito wrap with a Star-K hechsher)
1 box of Kosher Near East Spanish Rice Pilaf mix (comes with an OU hechsher)
1 can of Kosher corn niblets
1 small jar of Kosher salsa sauce
1 small can of Kosher sliced black olives
1 package of Kosher Fresh Express Shredded Iceberg Lettuce (always check for a Hechsher)
1 bowl of shredded Kosher mozarella cheese
1 tablespoon of Kosher cooking oil
  1. Boil 2 cups of water with oil in your saucepan. 
  2. When the water boils, add the Spanish rice mix and rice pilaf mix into the saucepan. Mix well.
  3. Boil in low to medium heat for about 20 minutes.
  4. When rice is cooked, pour it into a serving dish.
  5. Serve the rice warm with the burrito wraps and the condiments - cheese, corn, salsa, olives, lettuce.
  6. To make a burrito, take a burrito wrap and lay it flat on your plate.
  7. Dish a small amount of rice into the middle of your wrap. (See picture)
  8. Garnish it with cheese, corn, salsa, olives and lettuce.
  9. Fold the bottom of the burrito to cover the filling.
  10. Then, fold the sides of the burrito inwards, like an envelope.
  11. Lastly, roll your burrito upwards like a cylinder.  Your burrito should be snug and tight.
