>>HILAH: What's up dudes?
I'm Hilah, and today, on Hilah Cooking, and today I'm gonna make some big ass burritos!
I'm going to stuff them with all kinds of stuff and I'm going to give you some other
ideas for stuff to stuff 'em with.
We're gonna talk about how to freeze them so you can pack them for lunch because who
doesn't love a burrito?
That reminds me: I have a song!
[rapping]
"Let's get down to the business of burritos now.
When I say Burr you say 'ito"! Burr…."
Come on you guys!

[Homemade Burrito Recipe]
>>HILAH: (SINGING) So I've got a tortilla and I'm talkin' bout my fllins' (no more singing)
That is fill ins' not feelings, I never talk about my feelings.
But I do have a very large tortilla here that is actually called a wrap in my store, but
it's just a tortilla, don't get me wrong.
Okay, and I've got some refried beans here.
Uhm, so, in Mexico, burritos are always made with flour tortillas and that's why, sometimes,
I get some shit from people because I make breakfast tacos out of flour tortillas and
people are like, 'Uhg, tacos are always on corn tortillas!'
But, I mean, in Mexico maybe that's true but not in the U.S., but anyways: burritos are
always on flour tortillas and usually much larger than tacos.
So, the beans is kind of our little "glue" here, so you just wanna spread that out, like
you're making a pizza!
It's actually not like that.
I've got here some zucchini, some poblanos and onions and garlic that I just sautéed
really quick, just until it was softened, basically.
One thing that you wanna remember when you're makin' a burrito is that you want to make
sure that all the stuff you put inside it is chopped up fairly small, so that when you
take a bite you just get that bite and you don't pull away and there's like a giant piece
of zucchini coming out of your burrito.
Okay, and I've got some chicken here that I just poached and seasoned, pretty much like
I did in the chicken enchiladas videos.
Oh!
Cheese.
Queso, what's up?
Need a little bit of that.
Okay, so now, I've got some cheese, some vegetables, some chicken, some beans.
If you wanted to just wrap this up right now, you could freeze it and then microwave it
later for lunch, which is something I used to do a lot, and it's just such a great little,
portable, little snacked lunch.
Uhm, I'm not going to freeze this.
I've got some sort of like pico de gallo, it's actually just tomato and cilantro with
some lime and salt- but it's a little cheater's pico.
So, then we just fold this up, just kind of like you're folding up a little package.
I'm sure you've seen these at Taco Bell, which is where they were invented, just kidding.
You could eat this as is, or you could microwave it, or you could put it in the oven.
I am going to just grill it very lightly in the skillet, just to toast it up, and get
the cheese melted and everything like that, so, come with me this way.
So, I've just got this on high heat because that's how I do it.
It's just got like a smattering of oil int here that's left over from when I grilled
the vegetables.
So, just like, the tiniest bit of oil.
Just give it a couple of minutes, we're just trying to get the cheese to melt and everything
to kind of "sync up" as you will.
Alright…(singing) I've got a tortilla and I'm talking' bout my fillins'.
And, a little flippity do da, there we go.
Oh my gosh, it's totally looking like those things that you buy in the freezer section,
those patio burritos, El Patio.
Familiar with those?
Well, you won't be after this.
Okay, so this is nice and toasted on both sides.
It's smelling good and toasty.
I'm gonna eat it!
Okay, burrito time!
So, I'm going to cut this in half to show you the beautiful, colorful insides…god,
please be pretty..oh wow!
That's totally pretty!
Oh my gosh, dudes, that's beautiful, that's like a rainbow, in there.
So, we've got the beans and cheese kind of holding it all together and lots of fillings.
If you were going to make these ahead of time and then freeze them to microwave at lunch
later, like I said: don't put any kind of tomato or lettuce or anything in there.
But you can totally do beans, cheese meat.
I forgot to mention that I've got the sweet potatoes here and you can do the vegetables
too and then just add the salady kind of stuff later on when you're ready to eat.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and take a bite- not before I put some salsa on it.
I've got some of my salsa verde, umm, this recipe is on my website too, if you want to
make your own salsa verde.
Okay, here we go.

[pleasurable taste sounds]
>>HILAH: I feel a little silly oohing and aahing over this burrito because it's so simple,
but it's really delicious.
And, you know what?
Make yourselves a burrito guys!
And get crazy with it and put whatever you want in it, and you can put all kinds of meat
and cheese (or no cheese) and vegetables.
You can make it vegan or make it all meat, whatever..some spanish rice?
That would be delicious in there.
So, you know what?
There it is, there's how to make a burrito.
You're welcome.
I hope you try this and please leave a comment if you have any questions or anything please
leave them in the comments section and I'll get to them as soon as I can.
Thanks for watching, I hope you all have enjoyed this burrito and, hey, you know what?
