Quick burritos with home ground beef, guacamole, and a salsa.
It was my time to cook tonight and I had no idea what to make.
Bianca and I went to the shop to buy her some sparkling water and hopefully be inspired by something.
In the shop, we went to, they put stickers on products that are about to be thrown away.
You get a nice discount (35%).
I found tortillas, meat and a bag with cut ' Mexican' vegetables on sale.
Mexican (Dutch) Burritos was the meal for tonight!
Pretty healthy I would think.
Bianca found a can of refried black beans. I never heard of it but she guaranteed to me it was good stuff.
I always like to try something new so I went it.
Let's cook.
Ingredients: Meat, refried black beans in a can, Salsa, red onion, garlic, cilantro (for me, Bianca hates it), Tortillas, bay leaves, dried lemongrass, cayenne pepper, paprika powder.
I cut the meat into strips and then put them in the meat grinder. It takes about a minute to grind everything.
I cut an onion and crushed some garlic and put them in a pan with some oil. I fried them for 2 minutes then I added the meat.
I added bay leaf, cayenne pepper, paprika powder and salt to the mixture.
I cooked the meat till just under. Then I added the vegetables.
While everything was cooking I made a quick guacamole by mixing together an avocado, red onion and cilantro.
Then came the most adventurous part of the dish. I opened the can of refried black beans. Now if you own a dog you understand my initial reaction :). But it tasted great. I added it to the mixture and also added some water.
I took a tortilla and put it in a hot pan (no oil) to warm up.
End result! A very simple yet tasty dish! I added the meat mixture in the middle and topped it off with the guacamole and salsa. Folding them is not my strength (as you can see) but it works!

Since I started making salsa, I just made a bowl of salsa and love the parsley flavor. I used it for like salad and yeah some avocado.
Good job nice burrito.
Keep on steemin'
delicious friend everyday you are doing meal mexican, it a delicia
Whoa! You have your own meat grinder!
Yeah, I bought it about 2-3 year ago. Wasn't that expensive either, around $50. I mainly use it to make hamburger blends.
WOW, discount for food what is still good. That helps all of us, in the pocket and for the environment.
And see, it looks delicious, it looks fresh and sure it taste even better after the discount :-)
Have a nice evening after this perfect prepared dish !
The poeple I am following here at steemit, you are the only one male chef in my friend list. Your every single post amazes me and sometimes I feel jealous that I cannot cook like you.
@exyle I think TACO BELL is hiring here in the U.S..........
Thanks, always good to have a nice fallback for when STEEM hits $0 :)
@exyle yes it is good not to Burn your Bridges................
You sure are a great cook buddy :)
The dish does indeed looks yummy as we speak ;)
Tortilla recipe is always great, and this recipe looks really tasty. I would have cooked it without the blackbeans.
I like blackbeans mixed in yogurt, green chilli , boiled potatoes, , and cherry tomatoes. Chilli, potatoes and tomatoes should be cut in small pieces, and then add salt, some spices (like red chilli powder). It tastes great.
I have never seen them in a can so I laughed heartily when I read the dog food bit and then saw the picture!
Me neither but they are really nice once you get over the dog food part :)
They are! My girlfriend makes quesadillas with them, having fried them in garlic and chilli with smoked cheese as well in the filling. They are awesome but she soaks the dried beans overnight. I have always thought it a faff so I would be tempted to go down the tinned route myself lol!
Okay, its the master Chef again, doing some nice burrito and it looks wonderful, i hope it tastes that good?😀
lol, hardly master chef :) Just having fun :)
