Ornella's Burrito's

I'm back with an all-time favorite.
My sister always asks to make my (even if I say it myself) famous burrito's.
It takes some work and time, but is SO worth it.
I took major inspiration from an restaurant in Brussels called Pablo's, that sadly no longer exists today.
One a side note it's also quite healthy.

For 6 hungry people you will need


For the marinated chicken

1 kilo chicken breasts
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili (add less if you don't like it too spicy)
Juice of one lemon or lime
2 tbsp liquid honey
5 tbsp olive oil
A pinch of salt


For the tomato sauce:

1 tbsp olive oil
A little bit of butter
1 sliced onion
1 pinch of salt and some grounded black pepper
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cumin (add more to taste)
1 fresh bay leaf
Some cinnamon
1 glove of garlic
Some chili to taste (don't add if you don't like spicy food)
700 g passata (I used Mutti) or 800 g canned tomatoes 

Guacamole : recipe will follow

Rice

6 wraps


Start off by marinate your chicken.
Cut your chicken in little pieces. Put them in a bowl. Add the spices, olive oil and honey. Give it a good stir. Let it marinate for at least one hour (in the fridge).

Now make your tomato sauce. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan. Add the olive oil and heat it up. Add now the onion, sugar and the spices. "Fry" until the onion starts the soften. Add the garlic. And add in the end the passata. Let it simmer for at least 20 minutes. Now season your sauce to taste.

When the chicken has been marinating for quite a time. You can start grilling it.


Now it's time to assemble everything!!


Pour some tomato sauce on the bottom of your oven dish




Take your wrap and add some chicken and tomato sauce, fold the wrap over the filling. 



Do the same with the remaining 5 wraps and cover them with tomato sauce

Bake for about 15 minutes in a pre-heated oven (180°).

While it bakes in the oven, cook your rice and make a quick pico de gallo. 

Serve everything on table


Serve everything (burrito's, pico de Gallo, guacamole, sour cream and rice) on the table



Without further doing, dig in for God sake!!

Bon appétit!

Nachos especial




Nachos especial is a starter that I used to eat in a Mexican restaurant in Brussels.

Unfortunately the restaurant had to close. And they took with their closure one of the tasties nachos I had ever eaten.

You have to keep in mind that those nachos aren't the ones we get in the movie theater.

The ingredients for this super delicious nachos are

a bag of natural flavoured nachos ( don't take the doritos)
mais
two tomatoes
sour cream
100 gr cheddar
guacamole (optional)
foil paper

Pre-heat your oven on the highest grill stand of your oven.
Take a big plate and dispose your nachos on it.
Grate the cheddar and put the grated cheddar on your nachos.
Put your plate in the oven. Make sure it doesn't burns.

In the mean time cut your tomatoes in little parts. 

Once your cheddar has melted take the plate out of the oven.
Dispose the mais, tomatoes and (three dots) sour cream on your nachos.

Serve immediately (on a nice summer day)!
