I too do not care for mexican food. To me it looks like its been eaten once already and is in its recycle phase or something...plus eating food that hurts is not something I enjoy...its more like Toxic Hell for me....

I'm a major wuss...can't take pain of any kind...even on my tongue...

I know what you mean, Kep, I feel the same way about American cuisine.

Costacat, no, I haven't tried a fish burrito but that sounds scrummy. I did a google search for a good sounding recipe and found this one. I have a lot of salmon so I'm gonna try it (without the chilis, of course). I'm still looking for one with white fish. If you have one, please pass it along as I have a lot of halibut and cod too. Thanks for the ideas.

Chilli, you really don't need a recipe, per se. I've got a killer recipe for Ahi tuna with chipotle chilis, but...

Just cook the fish (any fish) the way you want (grilled or whatever). Then build your burrito with whatever you want in it. I usually use a creme fraiche (or sour cream mixed with a bit of lime juice), grated cheese, avocado, salsa fresca, cabbage, and and extra squeeze of lime. Literally, pretty much anything you want in the burrito. You don't even need the white sauce, it's just a "traditional" sauce for Baja style fish tacos.

Google "fish tacos" and you'll see lots of different variations. Just make 'em into burritos rather than tacos. (And tip... if you decide to go the taco route, use soft tacos, not the fried crispy ones!)

Traditional fish tacos and burritos are made with white fish (usually cod). Rubio's here makes what they call "Baja style" fish tacos, but I never ate 'em fried. You can find a copy cat recipe for Rubio's fish tacos HERE. Just switch out the tortillas! :-)

Chewpito, I know what you mean. When I was in school back East, I had to "import" all kinds of Mexican food products in my suitcases because I could never find even the most basic ingredients. Can you imagine paying almost $3 for a 2 dozen pack of tortillas? Unreal.

Er, I pay $1.50 for a dozen corn tortillas, and $2.25 for flour. Of course, they are fresh made and I buy them at my farmer's market (not commercially made ones!). :-)

I eaten the fish tacos at the stand that invented them in Rosarito, Baja California. The grilled fish tacos at "Baja Fresh" taste just as good.

Yup! Baja fish tacos on the Pacific Ocean. Not the ones that come from San Felipe! And Vs, I've probably been to that same stand a million times!

Costa, you are overpaying! Out here we get fresh tortillas for $1.59 for one doz. flour tortillas. They make them for you on the spot. Sadly, they don't make the corn ones fresh, but those are relatively cheap anyway.

Speaking of tacos, if you like meat tacos, the best place to get them hands-down is in downtown Los Angeles over at the Grand Central Market. The tacos are inexpensive and are delicious.

I got you all beat. Flour tortillas generally cost me $3.29 for 10. I did get 2 packs of 8 on sale 2 for $4 last time. I don't buy the corn ones. Yuck. I don't think anyone here makes them from scratch but I do remember being fascinated watching our neighbor lady in Laredo make them tossing them in her hands when I was a child.

I stop by my favorite Mexican restaurant where they make them and I pay $3.99 for a dozen made fresh. I can make them myself but mama, at the restaurant, makes these and they are great and well worth the extra money for her time!

I used to make my own tortillas, and yeah, there is NO comparison! I grew up visiting friends of my grandmother's, and whenever we went for a visit, the mom would spend a bit of time making fresh tortillas for us to snack on (hot off the griddle with butter... YUM!).

Rehtse, the size of the tortilla (flour) determines the cost. I said I pay $1.50 for a dozen corn, but more for flour. The flour tortillas I get are the giant ones (usually used for burritos).

Oh, well, that changes things. Out here in TX they make them small. They don't know how to make burritos in TX, that's for sure!
