I've pan fried a few burritos over that past week or so, and they all have gotten nicely browned with a slightly crispy texture to them. They're not chewy, they're still definitely a burrito, but the tortilla has a wonderful textural contrast to it. And I've only been using 2-3 tablespoons of oil.
He's pulling them out too soon. I said this the first time he had the issue. Let them cook and don't get impatient. Put two in a pan with an inch of oil and cook the shit out of them.
I grew up on fried corn tortillas, my mom scraped by all her life, tacos were cheap and easy. I watched everything she did. [Reply]
