One of my favorite things about traveling is that I am able to explore a destination through its\u00a0cuisine. I think that you can tell a lot about a place by the food the\u00a0locals eat, and I tend to do more research on restaurants for upcoming destinations than I do hotels and activities.\u00a0It’s all about the food!\u00a0When I return home from a trip, my creative juices begin flowing in the kitchen; I just can’t wait to try to recreate all of those delicious dishes I’ve eaten while traveling! This is exactly what happened the first time I ate at the BlueIguana Cantina<\/a> on the Carnival Liberty<\/a>: I ran home and tried to make a homemade BlueIguana Cantina Burrito<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

At\u00a0the\u00a0BlueIguana\u00a0Cantina,\u00a0authentic Mexican food, is\u00a0laid out fresh…Your choice of steak, chicken, shrimp and a plethora of toppings. What’s not to love? They even had a huge salsa bar for those who like a little extra heat on their burritos and tacos!<\/p>\n

Whenever I cruise on a Carnival ship that has the BlueIguana Cantina on it, I make a beeline to get my burrito as soon as I board. A delicious steak burrito and a sailing day special cocktail…It’s a wonderful way to start a cruise!<\/p>\n

We make tacos at home quite often, but I’d never tried making a burrito until I fell in love with the BlueIguana Cantina burritos. I don’t know why it took me so long — they’re quite easy to make.<\/p>\n

I have to remember to ask the\u00a0chefs what kinds of spices they use to marinate their meat the next time I’m on a ship!<\/p>\n

I enjoy my burritos with steak, black beans and rice, with simple toppings: tomato, sour cream and cheese. Chris likes grilled peppers on his, so I made a little of those too. You can also add diced onions, or use pinto beans instead of black beans, and white or yellow rice instead of Mexican rice.<\/p>\n
