Pan Fry
This technique requires some familiarity with the stove top, but if you know what you are doing, GET READY FOR DELICIOUS. You will literally transform the burrito into a hot chimichanga. And remember, don’t short yourself – top with salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole and/or sour cream and make your mouth smile with delight.

Cooking Method: Panini Press
Flavor: Chicken, Bean & Rice
What I did: I kept the burrito simple with a nice grill crunch from the Panini Press, but I really added beauty to the plate and turned this into a meal with a pico de gallo and guacamole salad and a side of sautéed veggies. Absolutely delicious!
