DIY Glutonous Party!

When the giant sub sand-which or 20 pizzas are no longer appealing its time to do something a little different for your party guests. With a little creativity you can make your party giant size. No, this isn't an article on super-sizing at the local fast food joint, we're talking a giant burrito. Whether you're really hungry or just want to mock third-world countries by making more food than you could possibly eat, the answer is: Giant Burrito.

Read on to learn how to make this glorious burrito that could feed a village.

Materials needed:

The Innards:

3 cans of white beans in tomato sauce

1 ½ bottles of cumin

1 packet taco seasoning(skip for the low-fat version but keep in mind its a giant burrito and it won't do that much)

The Toppings:

2-3 tomatoes

2-3 bell peppers of various colors

1500 grams of cheddar cheese (or mozzarella or even a mix!)

1 tub sour cream

1 can favorite salsa

Anything else that sounds good

The Shell (tortilla):

about 8 cups of flour(2 pounds)

1 cup oil

1 cup milk

1 cup water

2 teaspoons of salt

The Tools:

1 blow torch (if you don't have a blow torch just make a super-soaker blow torch)

1 table large enough to roll the shell out

1 rolling pin

4 hands

Getting Started:

Have 1 person start on the beans while 1 person starts on the shell. If you have the man-power get everyone else to cut tomatoes and peppers.

Making the Shell:

Start with the shell. In a mixing bowl add 1 cup oil, 1 cup milk, 1 cup water mix and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Stir while adding flour, add it slowly. You'll have to abandon your spoon and use your hands after a minute. Add flour until dough becomes like elastic and has lost most of it's stick.

Throw the dough on a table and start rolling. When the dough is all flat and evenly distributed get out your blow torch and start torching it. As long as you're torching the dough and not the table it shouldn't burn the table. Kinda of like boiling water in a paper cup. Flame on until it looks like a tortilla, remember under-cooked is better than over-cooked. If the tortilla is over-cooked it will crack when you try to fold it.

The tortilla should start to bubble up a little as it is cooked when this happens that part of the tortilla is done. Once the top side is cooked, cook the bottom in sections. It would be very difficult to flip the whole tortilla so fold a quarter of it at a time and do not cook the crease until the next section.

The DIY:happy giant burrito cooking lab table hasn't been the same since we got too close to the crease. Continue to fold (this is where the 4 hands come in handy) and cook in sections (as seen in the image below) until the tortilla is delicious looking ... err, cooked.

The Beans:

Add 3 cans of beans to a large pot and put on stove. Crush the beans using a potato masher, the bottom of the can or your fists. The beans are already cooked so all that is needed is to heat them up.

The higher the heat of the stove the more it needs to be stirred. Keep the beans moving and add 1 ½ spice bottles of cumin and a packet of taco seasoning (Unless you're low-fat sissy.) Stir until hot and leave on low heat stirring occasionally until its burrito time.

Burrito Time:

Start by spreading the sour cream on the giant tortilla, then add the beans and all the toppings of your choice. You may want to chop up those tomatoes and peppers before putting them on. Fold it up and then you can cut off serving sizes (like a casserole) or just sit around it with your friends and cut off pieces. Sit back, enjoy giant burrito goodness and let the party go down in history.
