Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups simple tomato sauce homemade or store bought

Chimichurri

  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Risotto

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken or veggie broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Wraps

  • 8 ounces grated mozzarella
  • 4 12 inch tortillas

Instructions

Meatballs

  • Mix the meatball ingredients in a large bowl, except for the tomato sauce. Mix until well combined. Form 16 small meatballs and place them on a baking sheet. Turn the broiler to high and broil the meatballs to brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat until browned and cooked through.
  • Add the meatballs to a tomato sauce in a pan over low heat and keep warm until ready to use.

Chimichurri

  • Blend all the chimichurri ingredients in a food processor or blender until combined. Season with a pinch of salt.

Risotto

  • Add the oil to a pan and add in the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for about 7 minutes. Add in the rice and cook another 15-7 minutes stirring often.
  • Add in the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add in one ladle of the stock.
  • Continue to stir and slowly add stock when it looks dry. After you have added about 3/4 of the stock and the rice is almost tender, stir in the chimichurri. Continue to cook until the rice is fully tender.
  • Remove from heat and add in the parmesan.

Build the wraps

  • Steam a tortilla and add some cheese to the bottom. Next add risotto, then 4 meatballs and some sauce. Add more cheese and roll it up tight. Repeat with all the wraps.
  • Preheat a pan to medium high and add some oil. Place the burritos seam side down into the pan and cook about 5 minutes until browned and crispy. Flip and repeat. Remove from pan and serve.
