Crisp fiesta fajita burritos with lime slaw
A weeknight dinner that starts with the burrito kit and builds on it. Crisping the burritos in a dry pan brings back life to the tortilla, while fresh lime cabbage slaw cuts through the richness and gives you something cool to wrap around it all.

To buy
- 1 lime
- 1/2 small head cabbage
From your shelf
- 1 package fiesta fajita burrito
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Slice 1/2 small head of cabbage thin and toss with the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper; set aside and let it soften while you finish cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap one burrito from the package and place it seam-side down in the pan, letting it sear until the tortilla is golden and crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the burrito and crisp the other side, another 2 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and warmed through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the second burrito.
- Divide the lime slaw between two plates and lay one burrito alongside it. Eat the burrito with the slaw as a fresh counterpoint to the warm, filled tortilla.
Note Swap the slaw for a quick pico de gallo if you have tomatoes and cilantro on hand. Leftovers keep in the fridge for one day; reheat the burrito in a dry pan. Serve with cold beer or sparkling water.
