partysugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:45:25 -0700

If BBQ gurus Pat and Gina Neely were to make a Mexican burrito, it would probably look a lot like this dish. The filling is a simple mixture of ground beef, onion, corn, and bottled barbecue sauce. Instead of a salsa or guacamole topping, a heaping spoonful of crunchy coleslaw is placed atop the meat.

Although cheese isn't on the ingredient list, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese is a welcome addition. To look at the recipe,

I can't wait to relive old times by making my own variation of this scrumptious looking burrito! — The Kitchen Sink

Free McSkillet Burritos This Thursday and Friday

YumSugar — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:43:14 -0800

A few months ago, I saw a sign outside of a McDonald's that said "Now Serving the McSkillet Burrito." When I read it I had to chuckle a little bit, this was near San Francisco's Mission District, an area known for its burritos. At the time, the McSkillet wasn't nationally available, and I wondered if it was just something that franchise was trying to compete with the local market. I wondered what they tasted like, but wasn't curious enough to go try one.

Well, now I've got a chance to do it for free. And if you're also curious about what the now nationally-available burrito tastes like, you'll be able to do it for free, too. This Thursday and Friday (Feb. 28 and 29) McDonald's is giving away free McSkillet Burritos with purchase of a medium or large drink. They are expecting to give away 1 million burritos each day, but you better remember early, it's available during breakfast hours only.

So will you be headed to McD's for your free McSkillet?

Fast & Easy Dinner: Beef and Potato Burritos

partysugar — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 06:03:13 -0700

My dad is a total meat and potatoes guy, so I'm always looking for creative and innovative ways to give him what he likes. The regular meat and potato combinations of steak/mashed potatoes and burger/fries can get old really quickly. That's why this recipe, where beef and potatoes act as the spicy filling to a delectable burrito, will be a total hit. It even has his favorite kind of lettuce: iceberg! I know the main man in my life is going to really enjoy this recipe, but how about yours? To make this meat and potatoes meal tonight just

If you're not aware, San Francisco is home to many taquerias (dare I say a bajillion?) and when you're craving a burrito, picking an establishment can sometimes be a daunting experience. Thankfully someone has chowed down 481 burritos to determine which one is best. The list keeps growing each day, and my favorite part is that the burritos are rated in mustaches. - Burrito Eater

Monday's Leftovers: Pulled Pork Burritos

YumSugar — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 06:59:31 -0700

If you followed Brian's pulled pork recipe yesterday, you probably (unless you pigged out like I probably would've done) have some leftovers for today. If that's the case, then take a tip from our very own Sugar Network geeks and put yourself together a delicious pulled pork burrito. This burrito is simple to put together - take a large flour tortilla, fill it with pulled pork and beans (I forgot to ask which kind the geeks used), cilantro and cheese - then top it with cheese and heat it up in the microwave (or oven) until everything is nice and warm and the cheese on top is melted. Depending on your microwave, you may want to heat the pulled pork up a bit before putting it in to the tortilla. Oh and don't forget to garnish the whole thing with a bit of fresh cilantro and some fresh salsa. Doesn't that bit of green just pull the whole thing together?!

What do you guys think? What would you do with all the leftover pulled pork?

You Know You Want Free Burritos and Ice Cream!

YumSugar — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 11:58:31 -0700

Mark your calendars, there is free stuff next week on both Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, April 16th, Chipotle is giving away a free burrito (well free as long as you bring a receipt from a burrito purchased on April 14th or 15th) as part of their "EZing Your Tax Day Pain" campaign. So buy a burrito, get a burrito for free.

The next free day is even better and there are no strings attached. On Tuesday, April 17th, from 12pm-8pm, you'll be able to receive a free cone from all participating Ben & Jerry's scoop shops. But you better get there early, from what I hear (I always miss it) the line can get quite long!
