Burrito Nite

Wendsday is Burrito Nite at our house. The Burritos are a family tradition. These are simple Bean Burritos, but with our own little special touch. It is necessary to use home made Tortillas of course. This is a shot of the Tortillas in progress. As is evident we substitute the old fashioned rolling pin for a high tech Tortilla press. Crude, but effective. My Sweetie rolls the
Tortillas, whilst I mash the beans. We've experimented a little, but pintos are traditional. The beer is optional but does make a nice complement to the operation as well as the meal. Of course there are other elements besides the beans and Tortillas.There's the onions, and olives. Today, some mashed up avocado. Some home grown cilantro, and of course the cheese. The sour cream makes them "deluxe" and all that. But there is still that one thing, that special touch that makes our Burritos unique, the slaw. I like to add a bit of tabasco for a bit of zing.
I suppose these are not really "authentic" and all, but they are our own family tradition, and have quite a following here. And of course, they are loaded with vitamin "F".

They're still calling for frost here this weekend. But for Honolulu- Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Calm wind becoming southwest between 4 and 7 mph. Sounds good.
