Champion Burritos Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER BURRITO

Steps:

• For the roasted vegetable filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, chickpeas, olive oil, curry powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables in a large roasting pan and roast until browned and lightly charred around the edges, about 20 minutes. (The cauliflower should still have a bite to it.) Keep warm.
• To assemble the burritos: Slightly heat up a tortilla in a large pan or over the open flame of a burner (this also helps prevent it from cracking when you roll it up). Smear a little of the Spicy Refried Beans down the middle. Add a pile of the roasted vegetables, then roll the end of the tortilla over the top of the filling, folding over both ends to hold the filling in place. Continue to roll over to form a tight log shape. Heat the canola in a large pan over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and sealed, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each burrito with a heaping spoonful of Spicy Peach Chutney, then a handful of cabbage, then some onion. Add queso fresco and yogurt to taste, if using. Serve with an extra side of Spicy Refried Beans and Spicy Peach Chutney.
• Combine the peaches, turbinado sugar, apple cider vinegar, red onion, raisins, mustard seeds, ginger root, garam masala, turmeric, jalapenos, Fresno chile and garlic in a deep pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, until all the excess liquid boils away and it has a thick, jam-like texture, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool completely and store in an air-tight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Soak the beans in water overnight.
• Set a pressure cooker on medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, 3 minutes. Add the cumin, drained beans, 2 tablespoons salt and 12 cups water. Cover with the lid and cook until the beans are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove half of the beans and puree them in a blender with some of the liquid from the pot until completely smooth. Return the pureed beans to the pot with the remaining beans and mix together. Taste for seasoning and serve.

CHAMPIONSHIP BEAN DIP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or until heated through, stirring once or twice. Serve with tortilla chips and salsa.

MISSION BURRITO

Steps:

• Cut steak in half crosswise. Place both pieces in a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air from the bag and seal. Using a meat mallet, heavy frying pan or rolling pin, pound meat until about 1/4-inch thick. Make sure there are no holes in the bag, then pour the beer into it. Let the steak marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove steak from bag, discarding marinade, and pat steak dry using a paper towel. Season steak on both sides with salt.
• Meanwhile, heat the beans: In a small pot over low heat, combine the lard, if using, and pinto beans. (If you're not using lard, add a few tablespoons of water to keep the beans from sticking to the pot.) Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and keep covered until ready to assemble burritos.
• Cook the steak: Heat 5 tablespoons lard or 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high. Working in two batches to avoid crowding the pan, cook each steak until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, chop steak into bite-size pieces.
• Assemble the burritos: Working with one tortilla at a time, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in a strip (running parallel to you) across the middle of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch edge on the left and right sides so the fillings don't spill out when you roll it. Top with 1/3 cup beans and 1/2 cup chopped steak. Top with 1/4 cup pico de gallo, 1 tablespoon salsa verde and 2 tablespoons sour cream. Using a spoon, smear a quarter of the mashed avocado on one side of the fillings.
• To wrap the burritos, fold the short left and right edges in towards the filling. Keeping the sides folded, fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling. Tightly roll away from you until the entire burrito is secure.
• If you'd like to crisp the outside of the burritos, heat 2 tablespoons of lard or oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Place the burrito in the skillet and cook each side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Tightly wrap a piece of aluminum foil around each burrito, and serve warm.

CHAMPION BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add ground meat and cook, stirring continuously, until no longer pink. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Add cabbage, tomatoes with their juices, and stock. Simmer over medium heat until liquid has evaporated. Add beans and cook 1 minute more. Remove from stove. Add oregano and lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place 4 tortillas on a large work surface. Place 2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese in the center of each tortilla. Spoon an equal amount of the meat and vegetable mixture over the cheese on each tortilla. Roll up to make burritos.
• Microwave burritos one at a time at high power for 45 seconds.
• Cut burritos in half and serve with condiments.

BREAKFAST BURRITOS PLAIN

Steps:

• Wrap the flour tortillas in paper towels and microwave them for 1 minute to make them pliable. Set them aside.
• Crumble the sausage finely into a large skillet over a medium heat and cook until brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the butter to a large nonstick skillet over a medium heat. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the salt and pepper. When the butter has melted, turn the heat to low and pour in the eggs, then add the sausage. Slowly cook the mixture, using a wooden spatula to push it around the skillet, until the eggs are totally cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place approximately 1/2 cup of the egg and sausage mixture into a warm tortilla, then roll up (do not tuck in the ends). Wrap in a foil square and keep warm until ready to serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
