Refrigerated Microwavable burritos YUCK!


This is the story all about the pre-made grocery-bought packaged refrigerated microwavable chicken and cheese burritos. It was the usual Thursday evening......... GROCERIES! My dad walks in with groceries and I start to put some away only so I can check out what he bought of course.
Sitting in the bag is this clear package with a sticker that says Don Miguel BURRITOS chicken and cheese with rice, beans, corn, and a few other ingredients but its hard to pick them apart once its microwaved. Its always gross to have to use the microwave to cook something, and I did think of putting it in the oven but I didn't have the patience.

"Cooking" Directions
Its not recommended to put it in the microwave and I'm not referring to Don Miguel and their recommendation but my personal burrito recommendation. You put it on a plate and heat it for 2 minutes on high rotating the burrito every 30 seconds. Your not going to kill the burrito if you don't rotate it but the tortilla does stick a little. When you take it out it is very hot! So you do have to honestly let it sit. First off I ate it with a fork and knife, the burrito felt like it was going to fall apart, and it was.......... bad, I had to give half to my sister, I couldn't finish the burrito it was so bad; don't use the microwave. What do you you use to cook the burrito? A conventional oven OR something better, something every kitchen should have and that is a George Foreman Grill! I have to be honest this wasn't my idea, it was my brothers. I walked into the kitchen one evening and smelled grilled pita with cheese; "Is that a burrito?" "yea" "Did you buy that?" "No, its the ones in the fridge." "You grilled it in the George Foreman?" "Yah", "Humph,..... smart".
Sooner or later my stomach started to speak I walked over to the fridge and took out the last Don Miguel burrito. I took it out of the package and plugged in the George Foreman, this grill is awesome because it doesn't take long to heat up and it gets very hot, you can cook anything with George Foreman. I placed the burrito in the grill and flipped it every now and then, it probably took around the same time as it would to cook it in the microwave, but it taste so much better on the George Foreman. 
For the burrito its self and how it tasted it was OK the rice is flavored so that was good, the cheese is gross its cheese paste, cheese whiz or something, and chicken was pretty good, the white flour tortilla was disgusting! and its gross cooked in the microwave a bit better with George Foreman but not too much of a difference.

  1. I used the oven and mine came out not soggy, but solid and tasteful. Maybe take your own advice and overcome the laziness?
