Chipotle Fish Burrito Recipes

HOMEMADE CHIPOTLE BURRITO

Steps:

• Rinse beans and place in a large saucepan. Cover with water 2 inches higher than beans and soak overnight. Drain beans in a colander and rinse. Return to saucepan or stock pot. Add water and bring to a boil. Add oil, cumin and cilantro to pan with black beans. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are fully cooked and flavors have combined, about 90 minutes. Remove from heat. Find and remove bay leaf and drain excess water. Set aside to serve. In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice to pot. Cook until rice is almost translucent. Add water and salt to pot and bring to a hard boil. Once water boils, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer and cook undisturbed until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave pot covered for 30 minutes to allow rice to steam. Do not remove cover or stir rice. Transfer rice to a medium bowl and fluff with a fork. In a small bowl or ramekin, mix lime juice and salt together. Pour over rice and stir to combine. Add cilantro to rice and stir to combine. Chop vegetables and oregano and toss together in a small bowl. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high until simmering. Sauté vegetables until fragrant and starting to brown on edges slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve in bowl. Core and seed tomatoes. Dice into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Mince jalapeño and onion. Add to bowl with tomatoes. Add juices, cilantro, and salt to bowl with tomato mixture. Stir to combine. Cook corn in a small saucepan. Drain and reserve in a medium bowl. Mince poblano chilies and cook in now-empty sauce pan over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add to bowl with corn. Mince poblano chilies, jalapeño, and onion. Add to bowl with corn. Add juices, cilantro, and salt to bowl with corn mixture. Stir to combine. Using a knife, cut avocados in half and remove pits. Using spoon, scoop out green flesh into a medium sized non-reactive bowl. Using a potato masher (or a fork), mash the avacados. Add chopped onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix with a spatula until well combined. Chop tomato. If serving immediately, mix in with guacamole. Otherwise, store tomatoes in an air tight container and mix into guacamole right before serving. Place sour cream in a small bowl for serving on burritos. Shredded cheese and mix together in a medium bowl. Wash several pieces of fresh romaine lettuce. Dry each leaf. Roll each left up tightly. Using a sharp knife, cut rolled up leaf into 1/4-inch pieces, creating long, thin strands of shredded lettuce. Reserve in a bowl. Top tortilla with your favorite mix of homemade Chipotle-style toppings. To roll, fold in sides of tortilla over rice, fold tortilla edge closest to you over toppings, and pull tortilla edge farthest from you down, tightening wrap as you go. It takes some practice, so have a fork handy for the first few burritos while you get the hang of it.

CHIPOTLE-INSPIRED VEGETARIAN BURRITO BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Place the onion wedges and poblano on a rimmed baking sheet and rub with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Broil, turning several times with tongs, until the poblano has collapsed in on itself and the vegetables are charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven. When the poblano is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin, stem and seeds.
• Transfer the poblano to a blender. Add the charred onion wedges, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce, garlic, soy sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, vinegar, cumin, 1/2 cup water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth, then set the poblano mixture aside.
• Cut the tofu crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick planks, then press the pieces between a couple paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet, then add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Using your hands, tear and crumble the tofu into very small pieces and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring to combine, until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Add the poblano mixture and 1/2 cup water to the skillet and cook until it's bubbling all over and the tofu has absorbed some of the sauce, about 5 minutes. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the mixture gets too dry (it should be saucy). Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve over rice and beans and top with lettuce and pico de gallo.

CHIPOTLE FISH BURRITO

Steps:

• Prepare a Guacamole by scoring avocadoes and mashing with Lime Juice, Splash Tequila, Chopped Cilantro, and 2 finely chopped shallots. Set in fridge. Mix flour and spices together and coat fish with them. Fry in a pan lightly with olive oil. Cut into 2 inch long segments. Moisten tortillas and warm slightly to keep them pliable. Place fish, Guacamole, Salsa, and chopped nappa cabbage in the center of the tortilla. Add Cheese and Chipotle sauce. Fold burrito into a pocket by compressing contents into a rectangular area, fold in the left/right hand sides and roll vertically. Place the burrito in a pan seam side down and heat until it becomes golden brown. Heat the opposite side to the same point. Cut on the diagonal and serve.

CHIPOTLE & LIME PRAWN BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• Mix the red onion with the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover and leave to pickle for at least 1 hr or overnight. To prepare the prawns, mix the chipotle paste, honey, lime zest and juice and oil together, then toss in the prawns until they're coated in the mixture.
• Put the leftover rice in a large bowl and mix with the lime zest and juice, most of the spring onions and the kidney beans. Season lightly. Spoon the mixture into two shallow bowls.
• Top the rice with the pickled red onions, spiced prawns, sweetcorn, sliced avocado, the remaining spring onions and tomatoes. Spoon the crème fraîche on top, then serve with the coriander and a sprinkling of chilli flakes, if you want it spicy. Serve the extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over, if you like.
