Food Truck Worthy Shangrila Tang Bang Burrito Recipes

CHICKEN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Spread the tortillas on a counter. Spread each with a strip of warm refried beans down the center. Top with the chicken (warmed), Crema, avocado and tomatoes. Lightly toss the watercress with the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and place over each burrito. Fold the bottom quarter of each tortilla up and then roll from the side into a cylinder.
• In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, place the flour, shortening and salt. Beat with the paddle until crumbly, about 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the warm water and continue mixing until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll each into a ball and place on a baking tray or board. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes or up to one hour. Cut out eight 12 inch squares of waxed or parchment paper for stacking the tortillas. On a lightly floured board, roll each ball into a 10-inch circle, and transfer to a paper square. Stack on a baking tray or platter and refrigerate until cooking time. Uncooked tortillas can be kept in the refrigerator, well wrapped with paper squares between the layers, up to 2 days. To cook, heat a dry griddle or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel off the paper and cook the tortillas, one at a time, until puffy and slightly brown, about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Set aside to cool slightly on a towel lined platter. Bring to the table wrapped in a towel for warmth, or wrap well and refrigerate or freeze for quesadilla or other dishes.
• In large bowl whisk together cream and buttermilk. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot light for example) for 8 hours. Place in refrigerator. Can be kept for up to a week.

• Brown and drain seasoned ground beef; put on top of mixture in pie plate.

JIAN BING, BEIJING STYLE (CHINESE BREAKFAST BURRITO)

Steps:

• To make the crepe batter, mix the flour, 1 tablespoon oil, milk, and ½ cup water together until smooth.
• In a small pan, add ½ teaspoon oil, and heat on medium. Add the sliced green onions to the pan. Fry for about 30 seconds, then add the Hoisin sauce and chili sauce. Cook for 1 minute. Add ½ cup water, and stir. Set aside for later use.
• Using a folded paper towel, coat the bottom of a large skillet or hot plate with ½ teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking. Heat on medium high heat, wait until the pan is heated. Stir the crepe batter again, and pour ¼ cup of it into the pan. Using a large rectangular spatula, spread into a 8 inch by 12 inch thin layer. Cook for about 30 seconds.
• Beat an egg in a small bowl and pour on top of the crepe. Spread the egg evenly on the top of the crepe using a the back of a spoon. Cook about 1 minute more, until the egg has partially solidified and the crepe is beginning to brown on the bottom, then flip over.
• Cook until the egg begins to brown, about 1 minute, then flip over so egg side is up.
• Using the back of a spoon spread ¼ of the sauces and green onion mixture evenly onto the egg surface. Evenly spread two teaspoons of the chopped cilantro over the egg/crepe.
• Lay one half of a Flat and Square You Tiao/Chinese Cruller on the middle of the egg/crepe.
• Fold both sides of the egg/crepe over the YouTiao/ Chinese Cruller. Crease the Jian Bing in the center with a spatula, and fold in half. Fold a paper towel in half, and use it to hold the Jian Bing as you eat it.
• Repeat steps 3 to 8 for the remaining three Jian Bings this recipe makes.

BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Spread a large piece of foil on a work surface. Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Place one tortilla in skillet and cook until slightly charred and puffy, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer to foil and repeat with remaining tortillas. Wrap tortillas in foil and keep warm.
• 2. Whisk eggs and salt together in a large bowl. Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add eggs and stir until large, firm curds form, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
• 3. Place an even amount of eggs and avocado in center of each tortilla and top each with 1 tablespoon of salsa. Fold one edge of each tortilla over filling; fold in sides and roll toward open end to form into packages. Serve with additional salsa.
• 1. Position rack in upper shelf of oven and preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and arrange tomatillos, onion, and garlic in a single layer. Broil vegetables, turning occasionally, until soft and evenly charred, about 12 minutes. Remove from broiler and let cool.
• 2. Squeeze garlic cloves out of their skins and puree pulp, onions, and chipotle chiles in a blender until smooth. Add tomatillos, and their juices, and pulse to a chunky consistency. Add cilantro, salt, and sugar and pulse to combine.
• 3. Transfer salsa to a bowl and let sit at room temperature until flavors meld, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.

FOOD TRUCK WORTHY!!! SHANGRILA TANG BANG BURRITO!!

Steps:

• If you're making the burrito, I recommend making the rice either the same day that you marinate, or before frying. Easy peasy Chinesey.
• Marinade: combine the regular and dark soy sauces, rice wine & cornstarch in a bowl and whisk well. Add beef and stir to coat evenly. Let it stand 10 min minimum (I prefer overnight for a stronger flavor)...
• Place your wok or stir fry pan over high heat until hot. Now add your oil, swirling until it coats the sides. Add chilis & garlic and cook until fragrant.
• Add beef until barely pink in the center (about 3-4 minutes). Now add the green onions and bell peppers.
• When the peppers start to soften, add the hoisin and chili bean paste. Once the sauce tightens up a bit, you're done!
• MAKING THE BURRITO: You need to chop your meat up into bite size pieces. Then gather all of your burrito goodies (rice, kimchi, cilantro, yumyum sauce, beef, and sliced cucumber).
• One by one, take your ingredients distributing them thinly, on top of each other, in the middle of the tortilla. DON'T OVERSTUFF. I do intentionally when I'm starving.. But to keep it fresh and clean, tightly roll the burrito up (like those awesome kids do in Chipotle), and cut at a bias in middle. drizzle with more yum yum sauce. And live happily ever after. https://vimeo.com/67368470
