Amy’s Kitchen gluten free burrito – review


(Just a quick note for us Brits, we don’t have many Amy’s kitchen products on this side of the pond) Amy’s kitchen is a family run company from the USA specialising in Vegetarian food.  It has Vegetarian Society approval so there is no chance of cross contamination with meaty products. 

The burrito can be found in the freezer section of Sainsbury’s and are sold individually for £1.99. Although relatively expensive it is a useful food to have in the freezer, for those nights when you can’t be bothered cooking, or if you are drunk and want food (the beans will mop up the booze quite well).  The burrito is just the right size for a snack on its own or as part of a meal with perhaps chips and salad. The burrito it’s self was very tasty with a crispy outside and soft on the inside. The burrito had a good combination of spice and other ingredients meaning that the taste of one ingredient was not too overwhelming, it also wasn’t too spicy, so not scary tasting for people who may have more sensitive pallets.  It is also a good dish to cook for meat eaters, as the beans are full of protein therefor filling; it also looks like a meat dish, so again not too scary. 

The one concern I have about the burrito is that the microwaving instruction tell you to microwave the product for too short time. It may have been my microwave not being powerful enough to cook it through, but I will say that it might be a good idea to cut the burrito in half after the following the cooking instructions to check that it is piping hot.
