The Adventure Begins with a Tortilla
Seize that large flour tortilla – it's your canvas. This is no ordinary burrito; it's your culinary creation, brimming with the spirit of Thanksgiving in each bite.
Layer Upon Layer of Flavor
Begin by spreading a tablespoon of sour cream on the tortilla. Then, prepare the star of the show – the turkey. Pro tip: use two forks to shred the turkey into smaller bites.
Now, it’s time for the mashed potatoes and stuffing. Comforting, savory, and utterly delicious. Layer them in, watching your burrito come to life.
Cheese and Gravy: The Perfect Pair
Sprinkle a generous helping of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Then, pour on the leftover turkey gravy with a flourish, tying it together like a ribbon on a gift.
The Culmination of Your Creation
It's time to roll up this edible artwork. Embrace the messiness – it's part of the joy!
Next, bring on the heat to melt the cheese and warm the gravy, creating flavors in the oven or microwave.
Add a Dash of Daring
Are you feeling adventurous?
Add a bit of cranberry sauce for a sweet and tart twist. And if you're a fan of spice, a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of scallions will elevate your burrito’s flavor.
