i'm becoming quite the chef. today, i had an urge for a carne asada burrito. but trying to still keep my promise of not eating out during the weekdays (special occasions excluded) i decided i should make carne asada burritos on my own. never having done so, and not having the internet in front of me, i had to rely on my best judgement when i was at the market. what i ended up with was guacamole, fresh salsa, and some cilantro. i could have made my own pico de gallo, but in ralphs they charge you an arm and a leg for tomatoes. so i decided to take the fresh salsa, cut more onions and more cilantro and make a quick version of pico de gallo. i got home and realized i totally forgot the tortillas, but i wasn't willing to go back. the meat part was very simple. i had some choice top sirloin cut carne asada style, and cooked it with a little bit of seasoned salt and black pepper. removed it from the heat, tossed my pico de gallo in. so i just made the carne asada burrito part without the tortilla, and ate it with a slice of bread with a side of guacamole. and it turned out really good. very healthy, simple and quick. i think i'll have it again tomorrow. this time with tortillas.
