Pico de Gallo:

Guacamole Sauce:

Directions

  1. First we add the shrimp and fish to the grill. Then we add the onion, bell pepper, tomato and corn. We cook everything well and then top it all with the shredded cheese, letting the cheese start to melt.
  2. At this point, we heat the tortillas up on the grill and transfer them to the prep table. The tortillas are layered with refried beans, Tomato Rice, the ingredients from the grill, lettuce and pico de gallo, and sprinkled with chives.
  3. We then add all five salsas before rolling up those fine burritos. The rolled burritos are placed back on the grill and cooked for a solid 30 seconds on all four sides, until crispy outside and heated through.
  4. The rolled burritos are wrapped in foil and ready to serve!
