Gameday Recipe: Guido’s Burrito Fritto
Football season is just around the corner so I thought I would whip out some new gameday recipes. I’ll lead off with this recipe straight out the Waco’s Little Italy neighborhood. . . if Waco had a Little Italy. Guido’s Burrito Fritto is simply a chimichanga filled with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese with marina dipping sauce.
| Guido’s Burrito Fritto |
- 4 8″ flour tortillas
- 1 TBL flour
- 1 TBL water
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 32 pepperoni slices
- 1 cup of your favorite marinara
- Heat each tortilla on a griddle or in the microwave. Cover with warm moist towel until you are ready for them.
- In a small bowl combine the water and flour to make a paste.
- On the bottom third of a tortilla place two ounces of cheese and eight peperoni slices.
- Fold into burrito (step by step diagram HERE).
- With a brush, paint the seems of your burrito with the flour paste. This should seal the burrito so it does not leak.
- Freeze for at least one hour.
- Deep fry at 350 degrees for 4 minutes, turning if nessecary.
You can stuff these with any or all of your favorite pizza toppings.
New Recipe: Pepperoni Pizza Light
Each week as part of my duties with TheKitchenHotline.com I plan a full menu of meals that feed a family of four for an entire week. Each day’s menu feeds the family three meals plus a snack for the kiddies. These recipes need to be relatively easy to allow more quality time for the family to spend together. Another part of my charge is to come up with healthy recipes. Each week I will share one of these recipes with you. Here’s this week’s:
Pepperoni Pizza Light
- 1 12” ready-made whole wheat pizza crust
- 1 can no sugar added tomato sauce
- 1 pkg. Turkey pepperoni
- 8 oz. low moisture, part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Following the directions on the pizza crust top your pizza in order with sauce, half the cheese, half the pepperoni, the other half of the cheese and the other half of the pepperoni and bake.
