Who would have thought a nice, fluffy Yorkshire pudding (more on this below) could be the vessel for a full meal? I have seen roasted meats and vegetables served inside a giant Yorkshire pudding, but this is to a new level. It’s not completely wrapped because the Yorkshire pudding is thicker than a tortilla, but that is what they called it. This street food has now evolved into Yorkshire burrito restaurants all around London with their first being in Camden Market. A few years ago, I made something along the same lines as this, but it is an appetizer of Mini Yorkshire Puddings with roast beef and horseradish (pictured below).
What is a Yorkshire Pudding?
It is a savory side dish that is very similar to a popover in ingredients and size (however, this giant version is made especially for this recipe) that originates from Yorkshire in the north of England. You can read more about it in my Yorkshire pudding recipe post.
How big is a Yorkshire Burrito?
This particular one is 8-inches (23 cm) in diameter. It is not small (but then neither is a Mexican burrito).
What is in a Yorkshire Burrito?
The filling can be anything from leftovers of a chicken dinner or Classic Roast Beef Dinner, British roasted potatoes, mashed potato, vegetables and gravy, to cauliflower cheese (a classic British dish). You can also add sage and onion stuffing to make it festive.
A New Way to Use Leftovers
For years, Bubble and Squeak reigned supreme in the world of British recipes using leftover. But step aside, mashed potato friend, because there’s a new king in town still making its rounds! The Yorkshire burrito, with its convenient handheld design and delicious versatility, is making its rounds and quickly becoming a street food favorite. The amount of filling is up to you. You can fill the wrap with as much meat and vegetables as you like.
Yorkshire Burrito History: A Recent Innovation
The Yorkshire pudding wrap doesn’t have a very long history. Emerging as street food around 2015, it quickly gained popularity and transitioned from casual street fare to restaurant menus.
