Carne and Queso Burrito

Carne and Queso Burrito

 

 

 

     I must admit that I am one of those people who goes to that certain ethnic restaurant and orders the same thing. It doesn't matter where I am, what city I am in, or which restaurant; I always look for this one dish. Now, that is not to say I haven't tried other items on the menu. I have, and I always do at any different ethnic restaurant or different cuisine, however there is that one item that you just fall in love with. I am not sure if this even constitutes Mexican cuisine. All I know is I have found it at many different Mexican restaurants up and down the east coast. It always has a different name depending on the restaurant. So when it came time to name this post, I just called it what it is. A beef and cheese burrito. Nothing fancy, beef tips cooked with onion and stuffed inside a burrito topped with that all time favorite melted white queso cheese. Simple and delicious. I have to say I am a little addicted to that white queso cheese. I have attempted many recipes but have never quite gotten it right. So I on a whim actually found the cheese in a can at my local grocery in the Hispanic food section. Quick, easy, and no hassel. Carne and Queso Burrito.
