Firestorm Burritos

twissis's Note:

I was at the johnsonville.com site ck'ing something else when I found this tempting recipe. Their only comment was "Some nachos on the side & you've got a fiesta!" All of a sudden a picture came to mind of a patio party w/pitchers of margaritas & a big bowl of guacamole plus trays of nachos & these burritos w/sopapillas & honey for dessert. When a recipe can have that effect on a well-adjusted & well-fed "mature" woman, then it deserves to be shared! *Enjoy*

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 8.0 Burritos

• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 1/2 teaspoons seasoning (roasted chipotle & onion blend suggested, but taco seasoning can be used)
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 green pepper (finely diced)
• 1 red pepper (finely diced)
• 1 tomato (diced)
• 1 bunch green onion (sliced)
• 1 red onion (diced)
• 1 cup salsa (lime & garlic flavor suggested)
• 8 bratwursts (Johnsonville Hot & Spicy suggested, but sub your choice of brats)
• 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese (shredded)
• 8 (10 -12 inch) flour tortillas (may use as sml as 8 inch tortillas)

Directions:

1. Mix 1st 9 ingredients & set aside.
2. Prepare bratwurst per pkg directions & set aside, but keep warm.
3. Heat flour tortillas, immediately sprinkle 1 oz of shredded cheese down the center of ea tortilla & top ea tortilla w/a warm brat.
4. Generously spoon the sauce/veggie mixture down ea side of the brat & roll tortilla to enclose the contents.
5. To Serve: If using 10-12 inch tortillas, you will likely have enough tortilla to fold over 1 or both ends & eat by hand. If using 8 in tortillas, just roll it up, plan to use a knife & fork & serve w/any remaining sauce. When you taste the sauce, you will want more of it anyway!
6. NOTE: Time does not include time to prepare bratwurst links per pkg directions. Time did include 15 min for veggie prep & 15 min for assembly.

I really wanted to make this after seeing it in the Favorites of 2009 Tag game. But I missed the tag, so decided to make it anyway! I love bratwurst, so it's great to find something new to do with it. I had 8 inch tortillas, and even cutting them and using a fork...this was very messy. I tried another way....just sliced the bratwurst, put some of the sauce on top, and ate it that way....much easier and very good! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

These were really good, 4 stars as written. 5 stars if you chop up the sausage and add avocado. They are very filling, since it is a lot of meat. I added more cilantro and less cheese.

Fantastic! I don't think I will be eating brats any other way now! I used chicken brats, and since I had regular salsa, I added a dash of lime juice to the sauce. Thanks for sharing! Edited to Add: This sauce and pepperjack cheese combo was also really good with turkey dogs, chorizo chicken sausage, and on top of black bean burgers. This recipe is so addictive!
