Method

Burrito Filling

Set a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Heat some oil, add the Fry’s Spiced Pieces and fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Add more oil to the pan, then add onion and peppers. Sauté until softened and slightly coloured.
Add taco seasoning and fry for 1 minute.
Add beans, rice and corn. Fry 2 minutes, then return the Pieces and toss well. Season to taste and remove from heat.

Burritos

Warm tortillas. Spread filling in a line just off-centre. Add tomatoes, avo, Fry’s Pieces and coriander. Season.
Fold the burrito: fold up bottom, tuck tightly, fold sides in, and roll. Repeat for all four.

Cheese Crust

Heat a non-stick pan on medium-high. Add a pile of grated cheese shaped like a rectangle.
Once bubbling and crisping, place the burrito seam-side up on the cheese. Let sit 10 seconds.
Remove pan from heat, lift the melting cheese up around the burrito using a spatula. Flip onto a plate. Repeat.

To Serve

Slice burritos diagonally and serve with guacamole and coriander.
