Burrito Bowls

The other night is was my turn to make dinner. I had no idea what to make, so I jumped on the handy-dandy internet to come up with some ideas. I finally stumbled across the idea of making burrito bowls! It sounded like something fun, so I thought I'd make them.

Essentially a burrito bowl, is a bowl made out of a tortilla and then it is stuffed full of tasty burrito fillings! A lot of the time the burrito bowls are deep fried, but I wanted a healthier alternative so I baked mine in the oven. I did this by taking a small stainless steal bowl, greasing it, and placing the tortilla in it. I put that in the oven (375F) and baked for about five minutes. The tortilla took on the shape of the bowl, and was nice and crispy.

Whatever you want to fill your bowl with is up to you. Here is what I put in mine.

-Home made refried beans (seasoned with lime and seasoning salt)
-Thin slices of cut up steak, pan fried with taco seasoning
-Lettuce
-Tomato
-Green Pepper
-Mix of cheddar and montary jack cheese
-Sour cream
-Salsa
-Green onions
-Olives

And thats essentially it! It was kind of difficult to eat however;  a knife and fork was needed. Next time I make them, I think I'll serve them with corn chips. Corn chips can act as a fork to scoop out the filling, right?
