A “John Scalzi burrito” isn’t one fixed recipe; it’s the concept of wrapping whatever you have in a tortilla, especially odd leftover combos, and heating it until it’s hot and edible.[mastodon +3] Core idea • Use a flour tortilla as a vehicle for random fridge or pantry leftovers.[dailydragon.dragoncon] • Mix savory bases (proteins, starches) with sauces and dairy, often in weird combinations (e.g., fish with Miracle Whip and relish; mashed potatoes with salmon and Manwich sauce).[mastodon +1] • Heat it until everything is warm and the tortilla is soft or slightly crisp; there’s no “authenticity” requirement, just edibility.[dailydragon.dragoncon]
