MEAT TORNADO!!!

My brother in law deployed to Kuwait this summer and when he got there he found out he was getting reassigned to Iraq. (Yeah, he's pretty pissed).

Anyways, to lift his spirits, I promised to create the Meat Tornado Burrito that was mentioned in the show Parks and Rec. The guy is Ron Swanson. 

Everything has to come from an animal. Here is what I have so far. Brisket, pulled pork, jalapeno sausage, smoked turkey, cheese, and use bacon as the "tortilla" by overlapping slices, cooking in the oven half way, then filling it up and tooth picking it together and putting t back on the grill. 

We are making this up as we go here so all advice is welcome. Only catch is no seafood. Apparently seafood to him is not meat.

    You could also try using chicken skin as the wrapper.  Pull it off the chicken, stuff, toothpicks to hold it together, and then crisp it by grilling directly.

    I just read that to my wife and she started gagging. I thought it sounded interesting.

    Oven for temp, then wrap in pig skin and deep fry.

    I know this wouldn't be considered a meat, but you can't go wrong by stuffing it with at least 1 type of cheese.

    I agree cheese sounds good. The rule was must come from animal. I think cheese works, jalapeños, those might be cheating. ;)

    Oh cheese counts. Guess I forgot to put that. I'm thinking a 4 cheese blend. It comes from a cow so it's all good in my book

    It has been pardoned. It is a flavoring to meat.  Not an ingredient. Just like a rub. If it was chopped up and put in after, I agree. Disqualified.

    You are correct to avoid any type of seafood in the meat tornado, as the esteemed Mr. Swanson says: Fish for sport only, not for meat. Fish meat is practically a vegetable.

    I think that would be an awesome snack to eat while watching those people on discovery's "Naked and Afraid" starving.
