Ice Cream Burrito
I've given this a lot of thought. And I really think it's possible to make an ice cream burrito. And it could be good!
I think it should contain ice cream and cooked white rice, maybe brown rice, or better still, puffed rice, like rice krispies. It should have a little chopped cilantro in it because cilantro goes good with just about anything. Pinch of salt.
Like fried ice cream, the trick is, how do you make the outside hot without melting the inside?
Very simple. You sort of combine the ice cream, puffed rice and cilantro beforehand, sort of mush them up and soften everything. You have to do this to make the ice cream flexible enough. If it's not, you'll waste the precious heat energy in the tortilla trying to make the ice cream conform while you're folding the tortilla.
So you get your ice cream mixture nice and flexible. Then you heat the flour tortilla on the stove like people do, right on top of the flame, and when it gets hot and puffy, you spoon a big glob of the ice cream mixture on there and fold it up real quick. Serve. You got a winnah! What do you think?
