As it happens far more often than I like to admit – I was jonesin’ for a burrito. And while your Qdobas, Chipotles, or Big Ten Burritos (they still around?) hit the spot, there’s something about dragging out the Blackstone and doing it yourself. They always taste so much better. Did a quick Kroger run and used what I had in the cupboard. Let’s see how this one turned out!
The Prep Table
If you’re looking at that picture, one thing should raise a flag right off the bat.. Champagne vinegar? I don’t know why either. I’m sure MrsForensicBBQ bought it for something at some point – but we have quite the collection of vinegars in the pantry. If this blog does anything – it makes us buy some weird shit. Anyway, we’re whipping up a quick citrusy marinade – highlighted by the lime/orange juice – getting traditional with the garlic/cilantro.. and then champagne vinegar.
MrsForensicBBQ needed peppers/onions for one of her cooks – so I offered to cook ’em up for her. Didn’t have to twist my arm too much, who doesn’t like that P&O fragrance. I was going to steal the leftovers and really pack these burritos.
Sure, could’ve blackstoned the steak as well, but the gentleman that I am – I didn’t want to cross the meats with the Mrs’s veg. (had to triple check that sentence for typos). Let’s keep it cookin
The Mrs has her veg, so now we can get dirty on the Blackstone. Got the steak cooked, ate way too much of it while cutting it – Chef’s privilege. The citrusy asada is always delicious.
So now that we have the meat sliced, we get to throw it all together. We’re putting some beans, rice, guac, cheese, peppers, onions, cilantro, and steak on this thing. We’re going to pack these up good. I took a photo mid-build so you can see what we got.
But you came here for the end, and the end you got. These things were HUGE. I mean, I’m sure I ate one of them no problem. That steak was delicious, but anytime you make the burrito, you’re coming away with a smile on your face. Until you finish it, then you grimace a bit – but well worth it.
Quick meal, quick post – the weekday burrito happens frequently. Now that spring has broken through, we’ll try to get back to some traditional meaty smokes. Work has picked up quite a bit recently, so I’ve been slacking on y’all. Was traveling for a while there, but I hope to stay put for a little while and bring you some good content! I used to have them stacked up – now MrsForensicBBQ has run with it!
