Recipe 26 - The Bangers N Mash Burrito

Ingredients:
Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes w/Skin, Montreal Streak Spice, Heinz Barbecue Style Brown Beans, Baby Spinach, Canned Corn, Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese


This was a late night burrito... circa like midnight so I was craving pretty hard. I did not disappoint myself on this one. It was lighter and less filling than a meat burrito but I wanted to sleep after and not have a meat nap. Just regular sleep. I figured a flimsy Veg Burrito would bore the hell out of me like most vegetarian options and render me comatose as usual. However, this spicy little b-tard fired me up and I had to watch Invictus just to get back to even ground. Not a bad little contender if I do say so myself. So for you vegetarians who want to have a little dignity, fire one of these up and feel proud.

Recipe 25 - Spicy Cheeseburgers?

Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef patties, Mild Cheddar Cheese, Montreal Steak Spice, Banana Peppers, Spicy Hummus, Baby Spinach, Chipotle Mexican Style Marinade


I wanted some damn cheeseburgers okay?> So I made some, and damn were they god. (also I didn't want the buns to go bad) These are super easy to make, you should eat them too. Perfect for a summer barbecue, hot roasted over a flaming cop car at Queen and Spadina. What? Inappropriate? Just saying if you happen to be there that's all... Chill out.

Recipe 24 - The St. Jean de Baptiste Burrito

Ingredients:
Lean ground beef, Old El Paso Burrito Spice, Jalapenos, Banana Peppers, Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with the Skins on, Jalapeno Mozarella Cheese, Baby Spinach, Corn, Montreal Steak Spice


I tore this burrito because I was too hasty and had to double wrap for safety. I don't know why I thought this was going to be moderate spice after looking at the ingredient list. Oh well the point is it was a spicy little piece of Heaven... or Valhalla. Yeah Valhalla for sure. Sorry for the lame burrito store joke in advance. This one was good guys. Try it. DON'T USE PROCESSED CHEESE.

Recipe 23 - Sheppurrito Pizza

Ingredients:
Pepperoni, Canned Corn, Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Skins, Montreal Steak Spice, Baby Spinach, Sizzlin' Hot Sauce, Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese, Banana Peppers, Chili and Lime Spice


Italy meet Mexico, meet... whoever made Sheppard's Pie? Sheppardia. This was a great little runaway from the Sheppurrito Pie. The only issue I had was I didn't cut the pepperoni small enough and as a result you'd end up pulling whole slices out at a time which could get a little messy, but ultimately it was no real sacrifice for the improved flavour. This is what multiculturalism is all about! Don't be prejudice, eat one.

Recipe 22 - Sheppurrito Pie

Ingredients:
Medium Ground Beef, Canned Corn, Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Skins, Montreal Steak Spice, Baby Spinach, Sizzlin' Hot Sauce, Mild Cheddar Cheese, Banana Peppers, Brown Beans in Maple


This Burrito was filling , and tasty, and filling, and I liked it. You should make some right now, it's a classic recipe with a twist! And who doesn't like a twist? That's like saying you don't like Twizzlers or Slinkys, and if you don't like those, you can go to hell.

Recipe 21 - The Cheese N Bean Burgerrito

Ingredients:
Medium Ground Beef, Mild Cheddar Cheese, Montreal Steak Spice, Chipotle Mexican Style Marinade, Banana Peppers, Hot N Spicy hot sauce, Baked Brown Beans in Maple Syrup.


I took the burrito I made classic and made it less delicious by putting shitty maple beans in it. You know what Mexicans don't like? Sweet things. They would never eat shitty maple beans. This is what I get for thinking I could substitute re-fried or chili beans. However such is the nature of experimentation. Now we have all learned from my mistake. We shall not repeat.

Recipe 20 - The Cheeseburgerrito

Ingredients:
Medium Ground Beef, Mild Cheddar Cheese, Montreal Steak Spice, Chipotle Mexican Style Marinade, Banana Peppers, Hot N Spicy hot sauce.


This burrito was a classic. It's like a mexican fiesta on a barbecue. It's the spanish foreign exchange girl who knows how to salsa and makes frills look appropriate on clothing. It's simple yet oh so complex. It is the david to the burrito goliath. It is wonderful. Make one, eat it. You won't regret it. Keeping the ingredients simple allowed this burrito to shine through as the individual flavours retained their identity and flaunted it, in my mouth.
