Death by Burrito: Mexican street food to die for

Product Information

Quick, fusion-type tortilla recipes, meanwhile, abound in more popular cookbooks so it's hard to see how anyone who isn't a big fan of the restaurant could gain much from this. A far cry from the Tex-Mex style of Mexican fast food, where cheese and mince dominate, the dishes in Death by Burrito put taste first – the truly exceptional range of starters, main meals and sides prioritises fresh, vibrant flavours: Smoked Beef Short Rib Mole Tacos, Deconstructed Guacamole with Blue Corn Tortillas and Crab Cakes also look stunning on the plate.

The chicken itself was just like chicken and gravy – which is an interesting filling, but we felt the recipe was intense for what ended up being chicken and gravy inside tortillas. Anyone already comfortable with the techniques of Mexican cooking in Britain will, I'm sure, be able to concoct their own flavour combinations if they wish, so it's probably not for them. I'm a guy who eats Mexican food in restaurants owned, staffed, and cooked by folks from Mexico, so I wasn't terribly impressed.

If you have already submitted another request to index a book or magazine yourself, please do not make any additional requests until you have indexed and submitted that book or magazine. Death by Burrito is run by the Rebel Dining Society, a creative catering company from east London, and some of the burrito and taco fillings are a lot more adventurous than the standard meat/rice/beans/guacamole combos – soy-braised pork with smoked kim-chi, lobster, quinoa with roasted vegetables.Death by Burrito isn’t the best cookbook – it’s actually one of the more confusing books we actually own. Death by Burrito is an interesting cookbook as it was written by a co-owner of a restaurant in Shoreditch who had never actually ran a restaurant or cooked professionally. There are no starters but a few 'big bites' (including a cheeseburger with candied bacon and jalapeño), a few sides, and a single pudding in the form of ancho chilli ice cream sundae.
