Mexico
Menu: Chipotle bean and cheese burritos, turmeric tomato rice, chipotle crema, and pickled red onions.
Recipe
Bean Burritos: Sauté yellow onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Add pinto beans, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash slightly while keeping some texture. Finish with cilantro and lime, fill large flour tortillas with the beans and pepper jack cheese, fold tightly, and toast seam-side down in a cast-iron skillet until crisp.
Turmeric Tomato Rice: Sweat diced onion and garlic in olive oil. Stir in long-grain rice, turmeric, tomato paste, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toast briefly, cook with vegetable stock until tender, then finish with chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice.
Chipotle Crema: Blend sour cream, chipotles in adobo, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Pickled Red Onions: Thinly slice red onion and soak in lime juice with a pinch of salt until lightly pickled.
What this shoot taught Pointer
The first session set Pointer's direction.
Anyone on the team could look at a burrito frame and know whether it was worth publishing, but the product could only identify that an object was present and describe its geometry.
Closing the gap between detecting what is in a frame and explaining why it is commercially worth publishing drove many of Pointer's vision iterations. Pointer now separates technical observations from publication judgment, allowing each to improve independently.
