Tasty food is even tastier when it is served in a practical format factor, that you can churn while watching some youtube video or having a chat in company. Added points if it can be stashed away in the fridge for a day and still be fresh later on. These burritos check every box, and you can make 8 for about €7.

Ingredients for 2 hungry people

  1. 8 dough tortillas (€2.40)
  2. 300-400g of sausage (~€2.50)
  3. 380g of beans (€0.70)
  4. 400g of tomato "polpa" sauce (€1.30)
  5. One little scalogno onion (~€0.10)
  6. Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

  1. Start by heating up a small and tall pot. In the meantime remove the casing from the sausage, then put it in the pot.
  2. Wash the beans, then put them in the pot as the sausage got its searing.
  3. Roughly cut some scalogno onion, then add it to the mix, and pour olive oil.
  4. Add the tomato sauce and stir everything well. The key to this recipe is to get the tomato sauce to dry up to a gooey consistency. The denser the sauce is, the quicker our process will be. With my tomato sauce, I usually have it cooking around 40 minutes.
  5. Add some spicy peppers if you like.
  6. As the sauce is done start heating up the tortillas on a pan, one by one. As soon as it turns golden brown place it on a plate and procede with the following assembly
    1. lay a ladle full of chili on the tortilla.
    2. fold the tortilla to create a burrito.
  7. Repeat the previous step for every tortilla you assemble, then put every burrito into the pan to give them a last searing.
