step by step

Method

  1. Shape the burrito into a tree

    • Lay a large flour tortilla flat and add the filling along the center.
    • Roll it up keeping a wide base and tapering the top so it forms a tree shape.
    Step 1
  2. Build the cheddar crust on the plancha

    • Lay a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on the plancha.
    • Place the rolled burrito tree on top of the cheese.
    • Let the cheese melt and crisp so it sticks and seals the burrito closed.
    Step 2
  3. Move to the board

    • Lift the burrito with its cheddar crust and transfer it to a serving board.
    Step 3
  4. Decorate with guacamole

    • Pipe dollops of guacamole around the outside of the tree.
    • Swipe each dollop upward to create the branches.
    • Add a second row of dollops between the first layer and swipe up again.
    • Finish with a last swipe at the top and a pointed tip of guacamole.
    Step 4
  5. Add the snow

    • Drizzle sour cream over the tree so it cascades down like fluffy snow.
    Step 5
  6. Add the ornaments

    • Place halved red and golden cherry tomatoes over the tree, alternating colors.
    • Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese for a snow effect.
    Step 6
  7. Top with the cheddar star

    • Cut a star shape out of cheddar cheese.
    • Plug the two stars together and place on top of the tree.
    • Serve and enjoy.
