Yo Quiero Tex-Mex, Y'all

We are now OFFICIALLY settled in Leuven City Hostel for the remainder of the trip. Home is where the big, red couch is. Or, where the Tex-Mex food is :)

On my last trip, I tried a Tex-Mex dish. It was definitely one of my weaker showings as team chef. It could have been partly due to the fact that I spent a majority of the evening and night at one of the local hospitals with an athlete who got hurt during a training session. This year, we're going Chipotle-style in hopes that I can redeem myself. The initial post-dinner survey indicated that it was a strong showing, so that's good! :)

Chipotle-Style Burrito Bar

The Foodstuffs

• Corn or flour tortillas/burrito wraps (whatever size you like).
• One pound ground beef (or shredded chicken, pulled pork, or even fish).
• Black beans (topping).
• Corn (topping).
• Radishes, diced (topping).
• Green or yellow zucchini squash (topping).
• Tomatoes, diced or sliced.
• Cheese - cheddar is always a good choice, or colby-jack (topping).
• Guacamole (topping; buy pre-made or Google a recipe).
• Salsa (topping; buy or Google a recipe). 
• Sour Cream (topping).
• One box of rice (for a side or topping).

The How-You-Do-It

• Thoroughly cook your meat of choice. Set aside in a bowl.
• Cook your rice as instructed by the box. Set aside in a bowl.
• Put each of the toppings in a different bowl or on a plate. To save room, use large serving plates and group things together.
• Assemble your buffet line however you like. I'm a fan of tortillas, beef, rice, toppings, then end with the guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
