When we talk about Mexican food the first thing that comes to our mind are tacos.
A very popular variation of tacos, are burritos.
On this episode of The Price of Flavor
We will see a few ways of how to enjoy a burrito...
its multiple combinations and the recommendations on how to obtain more value for our money.
The most popular story on the origin of the burrito is one that was born among tex -mex families,
those that live along the Chihuahua and Texas border.
In Ciudad Juarez on the revolution era, a food business man created an extra-large tortilla
to wrap his cooking in it so it would stay warm.
He acquired a donkey to travel his food across the Rio Bravo.
Soon it became very popular, and people started to wait anxiously for the famous burritos.
One very new and healthy option that has given a gourmet twist to the burritos
is here at Cali4nia Taco Spot. Let's look at the menu!
- Hi Alonso, - Hello Ivan how are you? Welcome to Cali4nia Taco Spot!
Thank you very much. I'm looking at the menu and on it you have 11 different burritos.
You have the veggie burrito and the chile relleno burrito
that is recommendable for all the people that are vegetarian's.
You also have the shrimp and fish burrito if you are a lover of fish and sea food.
And for people like me who love meat, what do you recommend Alonso?
For all the meat lovers we have a house recipe that is barbacoa burrito,
we also have the carne asada of course, chicken, and carnitas.
They all sound delicious! What if we order one that combines both seafood and meat!
Let's order the surf and turf and try.
Well here we have the surf and turf, one of my favorite burritos.
We can see in the inside that it has shrimp, carne asada, guacamole, cheese, rice and chipotle sauce.
Something that the chef was telling us, is that you should never cut a burrito in half.
In this case we asked for it that way so you could see what's inside
but it's a sacrilege to cut a burrito in half.
The burrito is something so practical and express
that you can grab on the go to eat and all the delicious stuff is in the center!
So it's a sin to cut it in half!
But let's try and see how it is!
It is truly delicious, definitely one of my favorite.
The combination of the seafood, the carne asada, the rice,
the exact and perfect quantity of chipotle dressing and guacamole
makes this burrito a gourmet experience!
And you have to try it!
To prepare a very good burrito at home, we have three basic tips for you:
1: you will need a flour tortilla that is good in flavor and consistent
that way you will avoid that it rips and the ingredients end up in your hands.
2: A great dish that is really good and the vegetables of your choice.
The more delicious your dish and the fresher the vegetables are
the more flavorful your burrito will be.
And last, wrap it very well.
That way you will avoid the wrap to come undone in your hands and ready! Enjoy!
On the menu you also have a burrito that is very original
and that is the sushi burrito.
What can you tells us about your sushi burrito Alonso?
Of course Ivan that is exactly what it is a fusion of a Mexican burrito with a sushi.
It's a burrito that has all that a sushi has which is rice surimi, shrimp, cucumber, avocado,
our own house dressing then is wrapped in a flour tortilla and then deep fried.
So visually it looks like a chimichanga but once you try it, it's an explosion of flavors!
And what if we combine it with a smoothie!
Cali4nia Taco Spot is well known for its delicious smoothies,
the best in town and I can see that on the menu you have 22 different flavors.
They have the ones with yoghurt for a creamier texture
or with fruit for a fresher and fruitier flavor. What do you recommend me out of the fruit ones?
I recommend you the Happy Day because it has all the fruits
it's really high on anti-oxidants and it's really light!
Okay let's try it!
It has strawberry, banana, mango peach and wild berries.
Let's see how it is!
The smoothie it's similar to a Mexican raspado
but it's rather an American term and product.
Fresh fruit, ice, sweetener and all blended to frappe.
Some others use artificial flavors or syrup but it's not very recommended.
The best smoothie will always be the one that is prepared
with fresh fruit and creative combinations.
Well here we have the sushi burrito and our Happy Day smoothie,
let's try them and see how it is!
It is truly a surprise to the palad!
Despite reading all the ingredients on the menu you cannot imagine what this burrito will taste like,
and the combination of the fried tortilla and the filling that resembles a sushi
it is really creative and very flavorful.
Well this is the Happy Day smoothie. Let's try it!
The Happy day is one with the highest request.
Its fruity flavor and freshness makes it the more recommendable for these hot afternoons.
One smoothie and one burrito for one person for the price of $10 bucks.
Its leaves you very satisfied and it's a very complete course.
Now if you come with a couple, two people can share a burrito
and each a smoothie for $13 bucks.
Now you have two people who have eaten!
Both are excellent ways to get more value for your money!
What else can you ask for?
Our special thanks to Cali4nia Taco Spot for their excellent menu and service.
We invite you to come and try these delicious gourmet burritos
or prepare healthy delicious burritos at home!
I'm Ivan Salazar will see you next time!
