HOW TO FRY EASY CARNE ASADA BURRITOS


You can fry the burritos in cooking oil of choice. Coconut oil is a wonderful, healthy option. We like to fry our burritos in grass-fed butter. Using butter ensures the burritos won't take on the flavor versus using an oil.

Fry the Carne Asada burritos for one to two minutes on each side until crispy. Frying the burritos gives them a nice crispy and crunchy texture.
