Growing up in New England, I was raised on rather bland flavors. While I love New England baked beans and a good pot roast, the flavors aren’t really bold, spicy or exotic. When I moved to Houston my taste buds went into a bit of culture shock! All of a sudden I was eating stuffed jalapenos and alligator on a stick! Houston is also a melting pot of cultures, especially in the science community that we were in so we were introduced to a ton of Asian flavors as well. Last year I read a cookbook all about Asian Fusion which really intrigued me. Food fusions basically take the style of one culture and mix it with the flavors of another to create a totally new creation. This is an Asian Fusion idea that I threw together for an easy, quick weeknight meal and we were all very impressed!

In my house, top your own anything is always a big hit. We do top your own salads on a regular basis, too. Something about giving the kids control over creating their own plate makes meal time more fun. You can use whatever toppings your family enjoys. I wanted to include bean sprouts but they were out of stock so I went with water chestnuts for that added crunch. Get creative with your toppings and every meal with be a little bit different! I used some San J gluten free Tamari Sesame salad dressing as the liquid while simmering the meat but you can use your own favorite Asian sauce.

What a neat idea. I never would have thought to combine those flavors.
I love Thai, and I love burritos, so this looks really great. The “top your own” idea is great, too, especially for my picky eater. He’s happy when he can make his own fajitas with what he likes.
That is a neat twist on a classic burrito. I am going to try this.
YUMMMM!!! You had me a Asian 🙂
