Carne Asada burritos: Special Baseball Playoff edition. Burrito components cooked and blog entry written between innings of Game 1 of Dodger/Phillies series.
Marinated carne asada
Purchased at Don Felix Meat Market between top and bottom of 2nd inning.
Spicy veggies
Saute half a dozen shiitake mushrooms. Once they're slightly browned, add two chopped tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes have broken down a bit and add one bunch of washed spinach (cut the bunch into thirds, lengthwise). Cover and steam. This released too much liquid, and the result wasn't very flavorful. I tossed in some cayenne and cumin, then cooked uncovered over high heat until most of the liquid had evaporated. Salt and pepper to taste.
Roasted peppers
Heat a comal or dry skillet until hot. Char the peppers evenly. Slice crosswise.
Carne asada
Heat dry skillet over high heat. Once drops of water skitter around, add a piece of carne asada. Cook for a few minutes on each side. Chop the cooked meat.
Assembly
Heat a flour tortilla (I used whole wheat -- not bad) on a comal until warmed through. Layer with meat, spicy veggies, roasted peppers, and a few slices of avocado. Delicious!
