The burrito has arrived in the UK big time! With more and more burrito places opening up in Belfast, do you know your Buritto from your Chimichanga?
I spent a day with Treehouse Chef and Mexican cuisine expert SM Dendani. Getting a behind the scenes look at some of the Mexican themed dishes available in one of Belfast’s new unique restaurants. The rooftop Treehouse restaurant on Upper Arthur Street.
Mexican food is simple and fun to make…
Beef Burrito : Every amigo loves a burrito. Pronounced “bur-REE-toH”, you will bring the whole family together with these mouth-watering recipe ideas.
1. Heat the tortilla gently on a dry hot surface. Use a frying fan without oil

4. and add jalapenos, salsa and cheese to your liking.
Wrap as shown…
Add some cheese and place under a preheated grill until cheese has melted. (2-3mins)
Serve with sour cream, and use bright Mexican colours of Green and Red.
Use sliced Oranges, Lime, rocket and shredded carrots.

A Chicken Fajita (“fa-HEE-tah”) is very similar. Watch the video..
A simple twist on the Burrito dish is a Chimichanga or a Casada.
Try deep frying a Buritto : Chimichanga
Secure the burrito in a cage and deep fry to golden perfection! Tastes delicious.

A Casada is cooking a burrito like a calzone pizza. Fold over contents into an envelope and place in oven until cooked.
