Close-up of a tasty grilled burrito with crispy, savory filling.

Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: corn tortillas, lime, cilantro and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the leeks in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Add the al pastor and let it coconut, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
  4. Fold in the ground cumin and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with chili crisp right before serving.
  7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
