Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large tortillas, 1 can of black beans (drained), 1 cup of corn, 1 diced red onion, 1 tablespoon of chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 sliced avocado, and 1/2 cup of salsa.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the diced red onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the drained black beans and corn to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle the chipotle powder and cumin over the mixture in the skillet. Stir to evenly distribute the spices and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Ensure the mixture is heated through.
- While the veggie filling is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Once the filling is ready and the tortillas are warm, it's time to assemble the burritos. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Place a generous scoop of the veggie filling in the center of the tortilla. Add a few slices of avocado on top of the filling.
- Drizzle some salsa over the avocado and filling to add flavor and moisture.
- To wrap the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the filling as you go to create a tight wrap.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Optional: If desired, you can grill the wrapped burritos in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Slice the burritos in half and serve immediately with additional salsa on the side if desired. Enjoy your Chipotle Spiced Veggie Burritos!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prep your ingredients in advance. Chop the onion and slice the avocado a few hours before cooking, so you can quickly assemble your burritos when you're ready.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to mix and match your veggies! Bell peppers, zucchini, or even roasted sweet potatoes can add a unique twist to your burrito.
- Heat Control: Adjust the amount of chipotle powder to suit your spice tolerance. Start with less if you're unsure, and you can always add more for an extra kick!
- Tortilla Tips: Warming the tortillas is key to preventing them from tearing. If you have a microwave, you can also wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
- Grill for Extra Crunch: For a delightful crunch, grill the assembled burritos in a skillet with a bit of oil. This adds a crispy texture that elevates the overall experience.
- Serve with Style: Don’t forget to garnish your burritos with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or even a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
- Leftover Magic: If you have any filling left over, it makes a great topping for salads or can be enjoyed as a standalone dish!
