wienie burrito
Here in the kitchen for exploring childhood food, I am reminded of why too much of a good thing equals gluttony. Thank you Wienie Burritos. I can’t remember who volunteered this recipe to me – I think maybe my sister’s husband.
Regardless, two of said burritos are now lodged in my gut, causing me to feel as though I have swallowed a watermelon, whole.
If you care to indulge your inner child with one of these concoctions and suffer along with me, do the following:
Heat 2 hot dogs in 3 cups of boiling water for 2 –3 minutes or until franks are plump and heated through.
Grate ¼ cup of cheddar cheese and set aside.
Heat 2 burrito sized flour tortillas in your microwave using your own personal knowledge of how much time it takes to heat breads without petrifying them.
Place one dog in the middle of a tortilla, sprinkle with ½ of grated cheese, add a squirt or two of mustard. Then, here comes the tricky part – fold sides of tortilla towards center over the ends of the hot dog. You should have a tortilla that looks like a rectangle with open top and bottom. Take edge closest to you and begin rolling this up over the dog in the middle to meet the opposite edge.
Set on plate, edge side down and repeat process for other hot dog and remaining cheese.
Eat. Have favorite antacid nearby.
Serves one.
