Three words! Deep fried burrito…. Yummmm… I was trying to conjure up a cinqo de mayo inspired dish and remembered a food programme I saw on chimichangas. Firstly I loved the name and secondly well whats not to love. I remember being inquisitive about what the name actually meant. Apparently it translates as “whatchamacallit” or “thingamajig” Brilliant!
Quick recipe with no rules for fillings so pop in whatever you like.
I decided on:
Mixed beans
Mashed tofu
Green chillies
Garlic
Red pepper
Corn
Bucket loads of sriracha chilli sauce and oodles of Art of Zen Foods Violife mozzarella grated.
Place filling in the middle of your tortilla and wrap.
I popped the burrito into a heated pan folded side down to seal it tightly then into the deep fat fryer for 5/10 min.
I served them up with:
Leaves, salsa and yoghurt/mayo and coriander blitzed with a pinch of garlic powder, salt and pep
Time to make friends with my second chimichanga. Ooohh I could say that word all day. Definitely give these bad boys a try. Simply delicious.
