Guest Gabby Allan #Recipe Super Easy Cheesy Burritos #Giveaway

 

 

Hi everyone! Gabby Allan here! I was going to share a recipe I thought Whitney Dagner from the Whit and Whiskers Mysteries might make but Whit's best friend, Maribel, decided to take over and so here we are. I hope you enjoy the dish. And if you don't, I'd like you to remember this was not my doing...

Super Easy Cheesy Burritos

Love, Maribel

 

So when Whit and I became BFFs I had to show her around the kitchen a little. I’m sure Goldy set a great table, but Whit wasn’t schooled on the basics of certain types of food, so I took it upon myself to help her out. And we ended up with a little thing I like to call the Super Easy Cheesy Burrito. The girl loved her takeout but I grew up with lots of time cooking with my mom and wanted to continue that tradition with my best friend. But this was Whit, which meant we started out with basics that were easy but also delish!

 

Ingredients:

 

Here’s the thing with this recipe––it can truly be whatever you want and however you want it. I’m going to set it up the way I like it, but if you want to add a dash of something here or there, only like vegetarian options, or need to go the gluten free route, there is no wrong way to make this dish. Do all the things in all the ways!

 

I use:

Large tortillas

Refried Beans

Shredded Cheese

Taco Meat

Vegetable Oil

 

 

How to make the magic happen:

 

Cook the meat you like––this can include chicken, carne asada, ground beef, pork, even tofu if that’s your jam

 

Get your hands on some refried beans. For the quick option a can from your local grocery store is not cheating as making them from scratch can be time consuming

 

After heating the beans I like to mix in the cheese by the handful––please see above for the name of these thing and act accordingly.

 

 

 

When you have your beans and cheese and meat ready, you’re going to lay out your tortilla and start building. I scoop some of the beans onto the tortilla first, then add some taco meat and more cheese. Some like to also put veggies or guacamole or sour cream in the burrito too. Your call, but remember we have to fold this baby up to get it to the pan, so don’t fill it up too far. You can always add more stuff on top once it’s done.

 

Now this part is not always easy, but once you get the hang of it there’ll be no stopping you. Take the sides of the tortilla, fold them and press gentle while drawing your fingers out to spread your goodies a little flatter. Turn the plate and start rolling it kind of like a wrap. It’s ideal to have all the stuff inside without anything squeezed out since we’re about to fry these babies just a little.

 

 

 

 

In a flat pan, cover the bottom with oil and slide the burrito in. The first turn can take a bit as the oil is heating. Use a spatula to lift the burrito to check for the level of crisp you like. When it hits the threshold, flip that baby over and give the other side a little sizzle.

 

 

 

When I remove the burritos from the pan, I often put them on a plate covered in a paper towel just to soak up some of the leftover oil.

 

 

 

And then get busy with your toppings. The sky’s the limit on what you can use as long as it looks yummy and is making your mouth water.

 

 

 

And we’re done! Go enjoy that burrito and know that Whit is probably trying really hard to roll it without any beans peeking out of the folds…

 

Are there any super quick dishes that you love that look like a massive undertaking but are actually super easy?

Take in the wild beauty of Santa Catalina Island with tour guide and eclectic gift shop owner Whitney Dagner. On the itinerary: dramatic Pacific coastlines, diverse marine life, and murder!

Since returning home from mainland California and finding her groove with the family tourism business, Whitney Dagner’s daily routine has become a wonderfully chaotic adventure. She and her nimble kitty, Whiskers, often find themselves at the center of the action on Catalina, from staged treasure hunts to gossipy birdwatchers. But before Whit can get too comfortable in the place where she grew up, a gift shop order leads to a stunning discovery—someone’s dead body . . .
 
One of Whit’s best boat tour client’s, Leo Franklin was young and newly engaged when he unceremoniously took his own life. Only it doesn’t seem like that’s what really happened—not after the suspicious activity displayed by his family’s old rivals at the scene of his death. As a bitter, generations-long feud between Leo’s kin and the local Ahern clan comes to a head, Whit and her police diver not-so-ex-boyfriend must lead a dangerous investigation into years of scandal and bad blood to figure out who’s innocent . . .  and who’s covering a killer’s tracks.
 

 

 

Bio: After writing plays for her friends to act out as a kid, bad poetry in high school, and her high school Alma Mater song, Gabby Allan finally found her true passion—cozy mysteries. Being able to share her world with readers, one laugh at a time, and touch people’s hearts with her down-to-earth characters makes for the best job ever. This California girl now lives with her husband in Central Pennsylvania where she is hard at work on her next novel.
