Burrito
The word burrito means "little donkey" in Spanish, the diminutive form of burro, or "donkey". The name burrito, as applied to the dish, possibly derives from the tendency for burritos to contain a lot of different things similar to how a donkey would be able to carry a large burden.
Burrito is a dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine that took form in Ciudad Juárez, consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients.
They’re filled with savory ingredients, most often a meat such as beef, chicken, or pork, and often include other ingredients, such as rice, cooked beans, vegetables, cheese, and variety of condiments.
Cook long grain rice in salted water.
On chilli oil saute chopped onions, peppers and minced garlic for a few minutes, then add minced beef, season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, then cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the beans, tomato sauce and tomato paste and let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
Now add in cooked rice and remove from heat.
Spread cheddar sauce over 2 tortilla wraps, then fill with the filling and fold into burritos.
In a non-stick pan over high heat grill the burritos for a few seconds on each side.
