Chicken Sausage Burrito
It's Friday, I'm tired as usual, our fridge is empty as usual and I haven't eaten anything all day apart from a bowl of porridge, an apple and a portion of chips. For someone who preaches the value of good food, I sometimes eat surprisingly unhealthy combinations. However, I'm proud to
say that there is one thing I avoid completely: Bad quality food, especially of the overpriced kind found in many average pubs, restaurants and canteens. So if that is all I can get my hands on, I end up with a diet like today's: Good quality ingredients, but too little of them.Anyway, reflecting on all this I decided that I had not held back all day just to order cheap (in the Dublin sense of the word) nasty take-out now and got off by backside and on with dinner. I needed something filling, but easy to make. I was too tired for complicated dishes and too stressed to live with messing up dinner. So what better than burritos filled with sausage chunks and mixed vegetables and served with salsa, guacamole (both recipes can be found here), sour cream and grated cheese. Nothing special, but healthy, filling and definitely fun to make. I know this may sound strange, but if you've got kids, this is a perfect dinner for the family. Put all the ingredients on the table and let them build their own burritos. It's as much fun as having pancakes and a lot healthier - even if your kids might skip the salsa.
