Recipe of the Week: The quest for the perfect burrito

Burritos are great! I'm always trying to create the perfect burrito. Really, perfect depends on what I am feeling at that particular time. It's very hard to beat the Seven Layers of Heaven Burrito, which has thus far stood the test of time. So, here's another attempt at burrito deliciousness. Actually, this was more like a burrito bowl, because the whole grain tortilla wraps, while healthy, are crap when it comes to staying in one piece. But, the photos are pre-eating and it appears that the burrito is in-tact, which it would be if I had used regular tortilla shells.

1 Chicken Italian Sausage (with pieces of peppers already in it, totally tasty!)

Refried Black Beans

Green Chilies (from the can)

1/2 Small Zucchini, sliced

1 Small Bunch of Broccoli, cut into small pieces
1/2 Avocado, Sliced

Handful of Shredded Cheese of your choice, I used a Cheddar-Jack combo

A few slices of an Onion

1 Tortilla Shell

Optional: Sour Cream

Slice sausage and saute in a skillet. Simultaneously blanch broccoli and zucchini.

While these things are cooking, heat up a serving of refried black beans and mix in green chilies.


Warm tortilla and spread bean mixture on it. Add the ingredients in the following order:

Sausage

Zucchini & Broccoli

Onions

Avocado

And voila! There's your burrito.

Also, here are some random pics that make me happy.
