Burrito - Southwest Seasoning?Hi,
I am trying the family size burrito this weekend for a Who Murdered Pam Perchef party and don't have the southwest seasoning as I am a new consultant. What can I substitute in its place?
If you have made this before what exactly does "Fold edges of tortillas up over chicken mixture in an envelope pattern." mean? Is there a hole in the center or will the tortillas fold over top of each other.
Any other tips are greatly appreciated too!

Try Taco seasoning mix.
 
Without pictures, I am often not good at following directions so to fold the tortilla's like an envelope and even the placing the tortilla's on the stone in the right way was hard for me! :rolleyes: However, what I did was I just placed four tortilla's on the round stone almost like a big square. Then I put the ingredients on in the shape of a big square like the recipe says. Then I folded the sides in first so the filling won't fall out and then folded the bottom up over the filling and the top down over that. Basically, it's like folding up a regular burrito but without leaving one edge open.
I hope I haven't completely confused you.
I made this for my family the other night and they loved it! I am making it on Friday night for a show and I can't wait!
 
thanks...Thanks. I too like pictures like Barbara but her directions helped me understand what it is supposed to look like. I will use taco seasoning mix this time and order some southwest seasoning on my next party.
 
There are pictures of this recipe in the Fall/Winter '05 Season Best Cookbook showing how to make it. If you don't have it, e-mail me and I will scan the page that is in the cookbook and e-mail it back to you.

The first time I made it I didn't have any seasoning mix samples, so I asked my recruiter. She was able to provide me with a couple and I replenished her supply once I made a supply order.
 
tried itJust wanted to let you know that I tried it tonight with my family and it was a hit! I still can't get the tomatoes to slice correctly using the ultimate slice and grate. There were mainly 1/2 size pieces. At my 2nd show I used it with zucchini and wound up slicing my finger when the zucchini wouldn't stay on the prong. I am determined to get this this to work b/c I had heard such good things about it. Until then I may use a knife to slice the tomatoes. I used a southwest seasoning I already had and everything came out yummy.
 
Wendy are youusing the correct blade for the tomatoes? You need to use the V-shaped blade for tomatoes. They come out really thin that way. The adjustable blade is too thick and can be a bear on tomatoes. Also, I found that if I cut the zuccini (or however you spell it,) in half, not lengthwise, it works much better. The flat end helps guide the veggie and the shorter length helps too.
I do this with carrots, potatoes or anything else that has a rounded end.
 
I also don't have the Southwest Seasoning....but are you sure that taco seasoning mix will be okay? And do I just use one tablespoon like the recipes asks for or the whole packet?
 
Taco seasoning will be fine although I'm not sure how much to use. Did you know you can get the Southwest Seasoning and Dill Mix sample packets on the paperwork supply order form?
