This blog post is in partnership with?Uberrito Mexican Grill. All opinions are my own! Thank you for supporting the brands that make this blog possible.

If you have a favorite restaurant, you know this scenario.

5-insane-burrito-recipes-try-5

You walk in, think to yourself “I should try something new” and then immediately order your usual.

There’s some part of us that is afraid to try something new because it may not be as good as your favorite thing on the menu.

I’m the same way, I’ll be honest. Unless I’m in a particularly adventurous mood, I’m usually going to go with my usual.

Lately, there have been a handful of restaurants that are starting to force me to think outside the menu. One of my favorites, Uberrito, is a regional make your own style restaurant that has burritos, nachos, tacos and more.

Every time I go, I want to try something new and usually I do! So, I partnered with their executive chef to share 5 insane burrito combinations you need to try right now! These can be made at their restaurants located throughout Houston and Phoenix (but expanding across the country) or at home! These recipes are designed to make you think outside the?usual burrito combination with protein and topping combinations that are to die for!

Shrimp?& Tomatillo Salsa Burrito with Jicama Slaw

5-insane-burrito-recipes-try-9

Ingredients:

Spinach Tortilla
Grilled Shrimp
Cilantro Rice
Black Beans
Pico de Gallo
Tomatillo Tomato Salsa
Jicama Slaw
Cilantro
Chipotle Aioli

I’m not usually a huge shrimp fan but of these five burritos, this was one of my favorites! The shrimp at?Uberrito is made to order which I loved finding out! There was a spicy after taste from the chipotle aioli and the jicama slaw was actually one of my favorite elements, too.

Fajita Beef &?Pickled Jalape?o Burrito with Serrano Ranch

Ingredients:

Flour?Tortilla
Fajita Beef
Saute?d Mushrooms
Pinto Beans
Spanish Rice
Pickled Jalape?os
Serrano Ranch
Shredded Lettuce
Shredded Cheese
Guacamole

If the idea of branching outside of your usual menu is a little nerve-wracking for you, then this burrito is a great way to begin. This burrito combination has great flavor from the fajita beef and is flavorful throughout because of the toppings.

Shredded Pork & Cojita Cheese with Spicy Avocado

Ingredients:

Wheat Tortilla
Shredded Pork
Cilantro Rice
Pinto Beans
Spicy Avocado
Tomatillo Tomato Salsa
Sour Cream
Cojita Cheese
Shredded Lettuce
Pico de Gallo

This was easily my second favorite! Typically I go for chicken, so with my top two picks being shrimp and shredded pork, this experiment certainly worked for me. I loved the cojita cheese in this recipe, cojita cheese is dry and salty and worked very well to balance to flavors in this burrito.

Grilled Chicken & Jalape?o Cheddar Burrito

5-insane-burrito-recipes-try-13

Ingredients:

Jalape?o Cheddar Tortilla
Grilled Chicken
Cilantro Lime Rice
Black Beans
Saut?ed Spinach
Queso
Pico de Gallo
Green Onions
Sour Cream

As I said, before this experiment, this burrito probably would’ve been my choice. I’m known for going for chicken every time. This burrito was really good, too, though! The queso and saut?ed spinach were my two favorite parts and the jalape?o cheddar tortilla was a great?burst of flavor, too.

Shredded Beef with Smoky Arbol Sauce

5-insane-burrito-recipes-try-10

Ingredients:

Flour tortilla
Shredded Beef
Cilantro Rice
Black Beans
Pico de Gallo
Smoky Arbol Sauce
Shredded Lettuce
Fresh Jalape?os
Sour Cream
Chipotle Aioli

This burrito won the most flavorful award. There was THE perfect amount of spice. Not too much, not smack-you-in-the-face spicy, just enough to warm you up! I loved the shredded beef combined with chipotle aioli and the smoky arbol sauce. So much flavor!

The key to all of these burritos is the protein variation and FRESH toppings. There are so many combinations that can come about just from the ingredients used in these five burrito recipes.

Now that I’ve shown you these five combinations, try one of these or create your own! If you’re in the Phoenix or Houston area, you HAVE to check out?Uberrito. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

    I’m not at all ashamed to admit we eat burritos or burrito bowls at least once a week. Sometimes more. (; Always looking for ways to “spice up” – all puns intended- our Mexican nights!

    After reading this I kind of want to make a thanksgiving burrito dinner . I’m a huge fan!! Funny thing is that I’m Mexican and (till last year) I lived in Mexico for my entire life and I only ate burritos twice over there . It is really hard to find them

    I want the Grilled Chicken & Jalapeno Cheddar one! These all sound so good. Every time you post an Uberrito picture I wish I could eat there. If only I lived closer!
