Burrito two ways: Steak and Chicken

February 25, 2014 by Crystal 2 Comments

Nothing beats a hand-held meal. Wrapped up nice and tidy and delivered with a delightful medley of texture and flavor, the burrito is a truly brilliant invention. As the spanish naming of Los Angeles would imply, we are blessed with fantastic mexican food everywhere you turn, can’t beat that! With these two burritos, one chicken and one steak, we (myself and food stylist Sienna DeGovia) set out to make these hand-held delights simple but mouth-watering. Each ingredients really brings it and does it’s job well, it’s a real meal for sure in the style of Chipotle! Get ready to unbutton that first button!

The other great thing about burritos is that they can be really healthy and free-form, not requiring measurements or real recipes. I’ll take burrito night over taco night any day! Here are some burrito ideas…
