I wasn’t planning to blog dinner tonight - it was the kind of meal that came together in 20 minutes, plus I wasn’t feeling well. But I made a major food breakthrough - I FINALLY MADE BURRITOS THAT DIDN’T FALL APART! I know I’m consistently guilty of overstuffing burritos and wraps, so tonight I made two burritos with the filling that I normally would’ve put in one. (The soft taco-sized tortillas are only 76 calories each, so it wasn’t any worse than one big burrito.) I also lightly cooked each side on a griddle, which helps to seal it so much and also wilts the green stuff nicely.
These burritos included everything in the fridge that I saw fit: fajita style peppers, mushrooms and onions, brown rice, scallions, cilantro, spinach, salsa, jalapeno salsa and Teese. I ate them with quicky guacamole and lettuce.
Check out my wrap and roll.
I’m really starting to think that other people might pay to eat my food someday, especially if I can keep learning these little tricks that make things just a bit more special.

Wow! I’m so impressed… not only because you didn’t overstuff the burritos, haha, but because the pictures look so great! Where did you learn all these tricks?!

Isn’t it wonderful just toasting the tortillas a little bit. It gives them an extra dose of flavor, but more importantly, they stay together. I used to overstuff my burritos all the time!

I would totally pay for one of those burritos! Even though it’s 8:00 in the morning, I would pay for one right now!
Re: the Annie’s Dressing - I was so excited to get those because I had not tried the Goddess dressing yet. I think the girl at the Annie’s booth thought I was nuts I was so excited!

You are quite the burrito wrapper - they look snazzy, especially with the lovely golden marks from the griddle. I never make myself burritos, but this makes me want to!

Those are some great lookin green burritos! I’m also a fan of the post-roll tortilla crisping, it makes it look so good.

I am guilty of overstuffing as well. Those look lovely, and I need to cave in and order some Teese already.
