Grilled Chipotle Veggie Burritos Recipes

COPYCAT CHIPOTLE VEGGIE BURRITO

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package instructions.
• Once the rice is cooled, add freshly squeezed lime juice, freshly chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Wash and chop cherry tomatoes into quarters. Drain canned sweet corn. Peel and finely chop red onion and garlic.
• Mix all chopped ingredients in a small bowl. Add freshly chopped cilantro and olive oil. Stir until combined.
• The EASIEST way to make fajita veggies is in a sheet pan. For detailed steps, top tips, video, and more guidance visit our Fajita Veggies post. However, if we need only 1-2 servings we usually make pan-fried veggies in 5 minutes.
• Peel and slice onion 1/4-inch (4-5 mm) wide. Wash and slice bell peppers also 1/4-inch (4-5 mm) wide.
• Pre-heat a frying pan on medium heat. Add olive oil.
• Once the oil is hot enough add the onion and the bell pepper slices and sprinkle them with fajitas spice mix. Stir to combine and fry them for 5 minutes until they are tender.
• Take a ripe avocado. Cut them in half and turn it with your hands around the seed. Spoon the soft avocado flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with your fork.
• Peel and finely chop the red onion. Squeeze a bit of lime juice. Chop fresh cilantro leaves.
• Add all chopped ingredients plus lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado and mix well.
• For more details, visit our Copycat Chipotle Sofritas recipe.
• Use a firm tofu and press it. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
• Fry thin tofu slices with a bit of olive oil until golden brown. Use a food processor to chop the fried tofu.
• Add all marinade ingredients to a food processor and chop them until chunky.
• Marinate the tofu crumbles for 30 minutes.
• Take a cast-iron skillet or a frying pan as well and heat it over medium heat. If you feel the sauce became too thick at the end of the marinating time, add a bit of veggie broth. Start with 1/4 cup (0,5dl). Add the marinated tofu crumbles and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Warm your tortilla in an oil-free frying pan on low heat. Place your warmed tortilla on the plate. Then add 1-2 Tbsp from all ingredients.
• I usually start with Guacamole and Tomato-Corn Salsa so they can help holding the rice and beans in place.
• Then, add the Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice and the Canned Black beans.
• Add 1-2 spoonful of Sofritas
• Top these with Fajita Veggies and Shredded Lettuce.
• I finish it off with a Shredded Cheese and a drizzle of Sour Cream (or mayo). And roll you burrito.

FAJITA VEGGIES (CHIPOTLE COPYCAT)

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add peppers, onions, oregano, and salt to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).
• Cook, tossing occasionally, until slightly softened but still tender-crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

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.

GRILLED VEGGIE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Split the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise down the middle. Brush them and the corn with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill until the veggies are somewhat soft and have nice grill marks. Allow to cool slightly, then cut the squash and zucchini into large dice. Scrape the corn from the cob.
• Warm the tortillas in a microwave. Heat the black beans in a pot and mash with a fork.
• To build the burritos, heap some Garlic Cilantro Lime Rice, mashed beans and diced veggies in the middle of each tortilla. Top with grated cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions and sour cream. Tuck in the ends and roll into a burrito shape.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice and salt. Cook over a low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to make sure the rice doesn't burn. Add 2 cups of the broth and the juice and zest of 2 limes and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid as needed. The rice shouldn't be sticky.
• Just before serving, stir through the juice of 1 lime and lots of chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Puree all but 3 tablespoons cilantro with 2 cups water, the garlic, chile powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan along with the rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low; cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Uncover, stir and let cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the black bean soup to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach and return to a simmer. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Toss the corn, tomato, lime juice, the reserved 3 tablespoons cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and chile powder to taste in a large bowl.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Divide the rice, bean mixture and cheese among the tortillas; top with some of the corn salsa. Fold up the bottoms of the tortillas, then fold in the sides and roll up. Serve with the remaining corn salsa.

GRILLED CHIPOTLE VEGGIE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine rice and veggie broth in a medium pot and cook according to directions on rice package.
• Meanwhile, combine diced zucchini, red onion, red bell pepper, corn and mushrooms in a large bowl. *Note: You can also leave the corn on the cob and grill the entire cob, and cut the kernels off afterward. Just brush the corn with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper, and grill for ~10 minutes, rotating 3 times.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
• Place veggies in a large grill pan (or wrap in foil if you don't have a grill pan).
• Cook over medium heat on your grill for 10-15 minutes, stirring often.
• Let cool.
• While veggies are cooling, make your chipotle sauce.
• Add Greek yogurt, mayo, chipotles en adobo sauce, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to food processor and pulse until pureed.

• Roast until the vegetables are deep in color and tender, 15 to 17 minutes.
• For the burritos: To build, lay out one of the tortillas. Spread 2 tablespoons of the hummus onto the burrito. Top with 3 tablespoons of the rice. Add 1/2 cup of the roasted vegetables. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of tzatziki. Add 1/2 cup of the kale and hot sauce to taste if using. Fold the edges and roll tightly. Wrap in foil until ready to eat; repeat with the remaining tortillas and toppings.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
• Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
• Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole if using.
