According to Tom Sewell, executive chef with Sodexo at Florida Blue, this Italian Burrito is run as an action station. The recipe is taken a riff on the operation’s pasta station. To create the burrito, the chef simply removes the pasta and put the ingredients in a burrito. Guest can select from one of three proteins: chicken, Italian sausage or shrimp. Sauce toppings are hot Parmesan Alfredo or marinara sauce or cold basil pesto or red pepper ranch. Veggie toppings are: diced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, red onions, cucumbers, black olives, artichokes, bacon, braised kale and spinach. Cheese toppings are Parmesan or mozzarella. This recipe is a version of the sausage burrito.
