What the original account establishes
These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- The tortilla is flour, olive oil, milk and salt; the salsa is tomatoes, red onions, coriander, lemon juice, orange juice, pepper and olive oil; the rest is kidney beans, garlic, 1kg of beef mince, burrito seasoning, grated cheese, jumbo olives, sour cream, avocado and lettuce, at approximately $60 NZD, or £28. The burrito came out nearly a foot and a half long. An oven-sized tortilla was made and dry-fried, in this case on a cookie sheet over the stove; the beans were cooked, then fried and crushed with healthy amounts of garlic and olive oil; the salsa solids were chopped and combined, in more than needed because about 20% is eaten before the burrito is finished; the mince was cooked with the seasoning and plenty of garlic. Assembled, the burrito was too stuffed to stay closed and was weighted shut with a pan for about five minutes in the oven, watching for spillage, then finished with guacamole, sour cream and lettuce.

What can one say about a burrito that’s nearly a foot and a half long? It was the best burrito I’ve ever eaten. It was the most burrito I’ve ever eaten. It was fantastic.
Step 1:
The Tortilla: put all the ingredients together. Make an oven sized tortilla. Dry fry this in a clean pan (or as in our case, on a cookie sheet over the stove.)
Step 2:
Prepare the beans. We cooked them, then fried and crushed them. Add "healthy" amounts of garlic & olive oil.
Step 3:
Chop the salsa ingredients (excluding the liquids) and combine in a bowl. Make much more than you require, because you will consume approximately 20% of what you make prior to completion of the burrito.
Step 4:
Cook the mince in a pan with the burrito seasoning and plenty of garlic.
Step 5:
Assemble ingredients in the tortilla. Ours was too stuffed to stay closed on its own, so we weighted it closed with a pan. Put it in the oven for about five minutes, be careful of any spillage out the ends.
Step 6:
Remove from the oven. Add guacamole, sour cream, lettuce. Gorge yourself.
