7 layer burrito

The 7 layer burrito is a vegetarian dish served at Taco Bell. It has 7 ingredients. The minimum weight standard for a 7 layer burrito including wrapper is 10.1 oz.

  • 1 package instant rice

  • 1/4 tsp garlic

  • 1/8 tsp cumin

  • 1/4 tsp red chile powder

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 can refried beans

  • sour cream

  • 1 avocado

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • lettuce

  • 1 tomato

  • cheddar or Mexican cheese

  • 1 package flour tortillas

1. Prepare the instant rice. Follow the directions on the packaging to prepare the rice. Regular rice can be used. A single 7 layer burrito comes with 1.5 oz of rice, or less than a quarter cup of cooked rice.

2. Add a pat of lard or butter to the cooked rice. Add the spices to the rice. The spice portions are in proportion to one sack of instant rice. Stir well. If desired a portion of a pre-mixed Mexican spice blend can be substituted.

3. Chop the desired quantity of lettuce and tomato. In a small bowl fork mash 1 avocado with the lemon juice. The lemon juice gives the guacamole a tang and protects it from browning. Shred the desired quantity of cheddar cheese.

4. Open a can of refried beans. Heat the desired quantity of beans in the microwave or on the stove in a small pot. A 7 layer burrito comes with 3 ounces of beans.

5. Warm a flour tortilla in the microwave until warm and supple. The tortilla must be warm or it will rip when rolled.

6. Place 3 ounces of beans, 1 1/2 ounces of the mexican flavor rice, a spoon of sour cream, a spoon of guacamole, lettuce, shredded cheese, and chopped tomato. Make sure the ingredients are evenly spread.

7. Fold and roll the burrito.
