Fork Facts
Burritos are traditionally served on a flour tortilla. In our recipe we use a corn tortilla for a lighter gluten-free option. The word burrito means “little donkey”. The name burrito, when referring to the dish, derives from the appearance of bedrolls and packs like the ones donkeys carried.
Palate Profile
Using a variety of fresh toppings creates a palate pleasing array of fresh flavours. Adjust your seasoning to your taste. If you are feeling like kicking the fiesta up a notch, add at tablespoon of cumin to your ground turkey!
