Our fridge got to the point where we had various scraps of odds and ends mingling together. Naturally, I wasn’t going to throw any of those things away. Instead, I whipped up these colorful burritos. Hence the amounts in this recipe are a bit annoying – it was literally stuff we had lying around. So tweak and adjust the ingredients a bit to make it all work for you. Just don’t go running to the store to buy an avocado to only use up a quarter! That would be pure madness!

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 2 burritos / 1.34 EUR per burrito / 2.67 EUR for all)

For the meat:

200 g pork loin (0.80 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

2 tbsp oil (0.03 EUR)

For the burrito:

¼ of avocado (0.20 EUR)

½ of small onion (0.03 EUR)

1 Roma tomato (0.20 EUR)

Handful of arugula (0.13 EUR)

½ can of corn (0.40 EUR)

1 tbsp lemon juice (0.07 EUR)

1 tbsp olive oil (0.04 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)

2 tortillas (0.53 EUR)

2 tbsp sour cream (0.07 EUR)

3 tbsp shredded cheese (0.13 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease an oven-safe dish and set aside. Cut the meat into thin strips, toss with salt, pepper and oil and fry in a skillet on high heat. Drain from the excess oil and set aside. Dice avocado, onion and tomato, chop up arugula and then toss everything with corn, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

To assemble burritos, divide veggie mixture between tortillas, top with meat, dollop sour cream, sprinkle cheese and wrap up. Mine were really fat, so the only way to secure them was with a toothpick. Place burritos in your prepared baking dish and bake for 5-7 minutes, just so the cheese can melt and the top crisps up slightly. Serve immediately.

Spletom okolnosti u frižideru su nam počeli minglati razni čudni ostaci od svega po malo. Naravno, nisam namjeravala išta od toga baciti. Umjesto toga, iskombinirala sam ove šarene burritoe. Iz tog su razloga količine u receptu iritantne – to su doslovce stvari koje sam imala pri ruci. Tako da podesite i prilagodite sastojke kako vama najbolje odgovara. Samo nemojte trčati u dućan po avokado i onda iskoristiti samo četvrtinu! Ti bi bila čista ludost!

SASTOJCI:

(Za dva burrita / 9,95 kn po burritu / 19,90 kn za sve)

Za meso:

200 g svinjskog buta (6,00 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

2 žlice ulja (0,20 kn)

Za burrito:

¼ avokada (1,50 kn)

½ malog luka (0,25 kn)

1 rajčica šljivar (1,50 kn)

Pregršt rukole (1,00 kn)

½ konzerve kukuruza (3,00 kn)

1 žlica limunovog soka (0,50 kn)

1 žlica maslinovog ulja (0,33 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)

2 tortilje (4,00 kn)

2 žlice kiselog vrhnja (0,50 kn)

3 žlice naribanog sira (1,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Lagano namastite posudu za pečenje i stavite na stranu. Narežite meso na tanke trakice, pomiješajte sa soli, paprom i uljem, pa u tavici ispecite na jakoj vatri. Ocijedite od viška ulja i stavite na stranu. Narežite avokado, luk i rajčicu na kockice, nasjeckajte rukolu, te sve pomiješajte sa kukuruzom, limunovim sokom, maslinovim uljem, soli i paprom.

Složite burritoe tako da podijelite povrće među tortiljama, pokrijte s mesom, pokapajte kiselim vrhnjem i na kraju posipajte sirom. Zamotajte tortilje, a ako vam budu debele kao moje, učvrstite čačkalicom. Stavite u pripremljenu posudu za pečenje i pecite 5-7 minuta, samo da se sir rastopi a vrh lagano zahrska. Poslužite odmah.
