Dorm-friendly burrito in a mug recipe
DALLAS - A soon-to-be college graduate is proving you don't need a ton of space to make great food.
Alexandra Mack, a nutrition and food science student at Texas Woman's University, has published online cookbooks that help students use basic staple items from the pantry for a healthy and inexpensive meal.
Her "Mugarito" is a burrito in a mug that can be made in the microwave.
Mugarito
1 large 9-inch tortilla
2 eggs
4 tablespoons beans, canned
2 tablespoons cheese, shredded
(optional)
4 tablespoons corn, canned
Salt and pepper
In a large microwavable mug press in a fresh tortilla. It will naturally fold into the shape of the mug.
Crack in your eggs and beat with a fork, taking care not to tear the tortilla.
Add in your favorite burrito mixins, beans, corn, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
Microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds. If the eggs are still liquid, cook for another 15 -20 seconds. Keep an eye during cooking so the eggs don’t explode.
Once done, let it sit for 3 minutes to cool and serve with some sour cream and salsa on top.
